The corner and window areas still need sanding so this is a far as the first coat went.
After doing some sanding on the counter wall, (and covering the entire kitchen, dining, living room area with a yellow dust), I was able to do some trim painting. The blue Kitchen counter wall still needs to be completed as do the counter end half round shelves.
The areas where the cabinets were required heavy sanding. It appears the cabinet interiors were painted by reaching it and brushing the paint while the cabinets were in place. This left a lot of built up paint runs that needed to be sanded. Applying a thin coat of ceiling blue over the area brought out the existing paint defects which needed cleaning up.
The main wall has a flaw in it, there was a crack and a depressed area where the sheet rock was pushed in, (probably something me or my brother did as kids). While repairing the crack was easy, the depressed area remains, (you can see the lighting difference in the wall photo below). The only way to correct this would be to cut out the entire area and place a new section of sheet rock in, plaster it, sand it and paint it. Since I am running short of funds and have a long way to go on the house, this is not currently an option.
