Still painting...

I'm almost finished with all the trim painting in the upstairs bedroom. Left are the built-in shelves, which I was working on this morning when I ran out of primer. Here's the before (before we bought the house):

master suite

With our stuff, but before I started painting:

I hate mint green

And the after (okay, technically not done, but almost after):
door done

I went ahead and ordered a whole gallon of transitional primer - I still have all the trim and the built-in shelves in the closet to paint, and ditto in the study. And eventually I want to strip and re-paint a bunch of the original doors. When they were painted when the house was put up for sale, they were not primed, and latex was put over oil. So they are peeling like crazy, especially Eve's bedroom door and the downstairs bathroom door. So when I get to that I'll use the primer, too.
