The timeline is looking a little grim, but one wall in the bedroom looks beautiful.
Last night, it took me a little more than an hour and a half to lay down a second base coat on the entire bedroom. This evening, ragging on a glaze coat onto one wall took an hour and a half. 
That means it will take me four to five hours to finish the entire room.
I shudder to think of how long the living room will take–it’s nearly twice the size of the bedroom. I might be able to put down the necessary two coats of base color on Saturday, but I haven’t a chance of glazing the entire room on Sunday. Perhaps I’ll just do one or two walls in the living room. That should be a nice effect.
But I think I must complete the bedroom. First, the white of the base coat is terribly boring on its own. Second, I wildly overestimated how much glaze I would need to do the room. I have an entire gallon of glaze and color, and I doubt I’ve used a pint on the one wall. It would be such a waste not to use three more pints. Third, the glaze layer does a fantastic job of hiding the roughness of the walls.
Maybe I’ll do the bathroom with the same color as well.

Yup it looks great. Any chance that practise will improve efficiency? Yeah the bathroom probably is a good idea. There is value in a kind of seamlessness as one moves from one room to another. And you can always use different accent colors in different rooms; purple in the bedroom, dark green in the bathroom, leather brown in the living room. Its exhausting but its worth it.
