When we bought our house, nearly 3 years ago, it was very ugly inside. I mean, retired couple, wall paper ugly. But the price was AMAZING and we loved the layout, and we had a free place to live, so we spent about a month changing everything on the inside before we moved in. We painted every room, we stripped wall paper (which my niece Amanda still b*tches about to ths day…you didn’t have to help kid if you didn’t want to), we re-carpeted. changed light fixtures and tiled. Even though it was hard work, I LOVED every minute of it. We moved into this fresh new house, totally designed (color wise at least) by us.
Well……..3 years later………I couldn’t take the color of the ceiling in the bathroom anymore (it was green, don’t ask) so a couple weeks ago I painted it white. I’ve wanted to repaint our bedroom since the day we painted it baby poop brown. Well tomorrow, that same niece who whines about stripping wallpaper is coming over to watch the girls so I can repaint it…a very very light sage green. Today I spent most of the day taping the room and cleaning. I am ready to go at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Pictures of course will be posted when I’m done.
I now totally have the painting bug. I think it’s a combination of starting projects again and watching Design Star on HGTV. Poor Jonathan. He hates it when I get “project minded”. I give him WAY too much information, in too short of a time fram.
Anyway, wish me luck. We’re trying a low odor, eco friendly paint from Sherwin Williams called Harmony. Expect a full review later.
