Done with my downstairs patching. The wall had two L shaped holes about 2"x2" from the bracket for the kiddie gate ripping out. The corner had just had all its finish knocked off over the years. I had to sculpt it out of mud and tape before I did the texture. Wish I'd gotten a before pic.
The wall upstairs is ready for paint. Waiting for Thuy to get home so we can go get a few colors and use that area to test. Planning on repainting the whole house a nice neutral gray color soon.
