Painting Fun...
On a whim this weekend, I decided that I really wanted to paint. We had offered to paint our to-be niece's nursery, but never heard from my brother-in-law... Instead, we painted our guest bedroom/office. We had painted our family room and master bedroom when we moved in two years ago, but this room has always felt unfinished, and more of an after thought. Since I am spending more time here (like right now, working from home), I wanted to breath some life into it.
We had a good system for painting - What a team! I was in charge of prepping the room and doing all the cutting-in around the edges. Adam went to buy the paint while I was getting the room prepped and then he was Mr. Paint Roller. The project took longer than I was expecting, (over 4 hours compared to my expectation of 3hours), but that is mainly because the walls of our apartment are so crappy... they weren't very fond of absorbing paint. Our cheap apartment building didn't even have paint on the walls, just primer, and the walls very uneven.
I spent a lot of time worried/stressed that Klutzy-Heike was going to spill paint on our very nice desk. Luckily, nothing happened. We still need to get the stuff back on the walls, but we are both loving the color!
Doesn't it look fabulous? I guess the color might be hard to see in these photos because of the sunlight.
It's a pretty interesting color that takes on completely different shades depending on the light coming in.
Look at how bland/boring it used to look!
