Oh, painting should be my middle name! It feels like all I ever do is paint. Next room up was the craft room. I was having a hard time choosing a color for it.
It took me about an hour to take everything off the walls, unscrew all the light/electrical plates and tape everything off. I did it all on that computer chair right there. It actually worked quite nicely seeing as the chair has wheels and I just pushed off from wall to wall until everything was taped. I was in pain after taping off the ceiling.
My ever so kind Sister, who is on spring break, came over for a few hours and helped me paint the craft room during naptime. It worked out perfect. It took almost 2 hours from start to finish which is exactly how long Cohen slept! It went from dirty white to a very pretty pale purple. Valspar’s Stardust Evening to be exact. It is hard to tell in the photos but it is really pale. In some photos the walls almost look white.
I can see the potential magic that is going to be made in this room.
Next up is the room which currently looks like this. It has became the room that I put everything that doesn’t have a place yet. I am hoping to paint this coming up weekend and have the room completely done. The in-laws are coming in 2.5 weeks, so that is my dead line!
I am going to go with a light grey. The room doesn’t get a lot of light so it will have to be a lighter color. The bed, bedding and the all the furniture in the room are white and I think grey will compliment it rather well. It will feel light and airy and clean!
Once I get the craft room totally done I will post more photos but for now it is going to look like this until I can sink all those rods on the walls into studs. I put them where i thought they looked good and 95% of them can’t support anything! So I must fix it… when I find time and energy.
