A painter I'm not

I painted over one wall in my hall bath today.  It was a green and purple sponge painted wall and I just couldn't take it anymore.  So I scrounged together some leftover paint I already had and went to work.  I. hate. to. paint.  Taping, dripping, messy.  I get it in my hair and all over my hands and arms and floor. Every single time.  There are ALOT of walls in this house that I want painted.  The white walls are so white.  I haven't hung things on them because I know I want them painted, but I don't want to do it.  So they just stare at me, taunting me.  Phillip thinks they're just fine.   I guess I'd better get used to paint in my hair.

I thought that wall looked a little out-of-place, outdated, and I was wondering if you would paint it. What color did you go with?

Becky, I just spent the whole day painting and just have to say that I love painting! It is the closest we can get to real magic. In a couple of hours you can transform a room.

We used to move so often that I would get all the change in my life that was needed. Now that we are planning on staying in the same place forever, paint is the only change that I get. I think that I have painted this entire house three times since we moved here four years ago.

It is messy but if you get a good paint brush and good paint (none of the cheap stuff) it is a lot easier and goes so much faster.

Give me a call and I'll come help you. Make it a paint party, always more fun when you are doing it together.
