The nice part about living alone is that I don't inconvenience anyone by camping out in the living room while all of my furniture is shrunk. I didn't want to drip paint on it accidentally. Paint-drying charms are effective, but it's easier to paint an entire section before you use it.
Base coat for the ceiling is coming along nicely. It's quite brighter than I thought it would be, but once I do the rest of the painting I think it will be fine. Haven't started on the walls yet.
