After we got the three walls painted in green, \"\"<\/a>
\n(and there’s the new tv mounted on the wall)
\nI wanted to do the fourth wall a different color. Why? Because I can. I was thinking of a darker green or a brown. So, I took in my trusty pillow sham and compared colors again. I ended up with a chocolate-y brown. <\/p>\n

Because of work (I ended up subbing three days in a row-ugh) and a funeral and other such LIFE, I didn’t get any time to paint until Friday. So, Friday morning, I was READY. I put on my paint clothes (which my kids curiously think are my pajamas. While I do sometimes paint in my pajamas, I have dedicated a certain pair of yoga pants and t-shirt as my paint clothes, so that I don’t ruin any more items), and started moving things out of the way, and cleaning the walls and baseboards. Where is that darned screwdriver I used to take off the plug covers? Text to Ryan, who says it should be on the dresser. Not on the dresser. Go searching the house for a screwdriver. Finally find one, and commence taking the plug covers off. My sweet hubby had taken apart the paint stick and cleaned it (what a sweetie, right?), but then I had to put it back together. Just a word about my beloved paint stick. I have mentioned before that it’s the only way to paint, and how much I love the paint stick. \"\"<\/a>
\nWell, this Wagner paint and roll wasn’t working properly when I started painting the green. No problem, I’ve used this paint stick for several rooms already, so I’ll just open up the box of this other<\/em> paint stick and use it.\"\"<\/a> Well, having not taken this new paint stick apart, I wasn’t familiar with the assembly of it. And those instructions? Not the clearest. Another call to Ryan, who explained how to do it. I tried, but I just couldn’t get it quite right. Dang. And I’ve got the paint can opened and everything.<\/p>\n

At this point in my frustration, I realized that perhaps painting wasn’t the thing for me to do that day. I had cramps and was extremely grumpy from a certain monthly occurrence that was indeed at that time occurring. I didn’t want to end up totally frustrated and throwing things, after all. I decided to just wait on the rolling of the paint until hubby could come home and rescue me. But since the paint can was already opened, I had to see how it looked on the wall, right? I just did a little bit of edging and called it good for the moment.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSo, Friday night, we got busy with some paint. It’s SO MUCH FUN, that the kids all want a turn painting.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBut they tire quickly.<\/p>\n

The next morning we got back on the painting wagon, and finished that wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now it’s done. Hooray!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI took some pictures just to show the finished room.
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although in the spirit of full disclosure, my bedroom NEVER looks like that. NEVER. I’m notoriously messy. There is usually a pile of laundry somewhere, a pile of clothes on the chair (I haven’t brought the chair back in, I’m just realizing), and I do intend to hang those things up on the wall. \"\"<\/a> When I figure out where they should go.<\/p>\n

But I am thrilled to FINALLY have some color in my room.
\n\"\"<\/a>It only took 10 years in this house, and the threat of mounting a tv on the wall to get me to decide. And you know what? Now that there is some color on the wall, the non centered windows don’t bug me so much. I will probably still do some curtains in there. Eventually. Maybe in another 10 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
