This weekend I painted the new office (Anya’s old room) and Anya’s new room. I also painted the entryway up to the upstairs hallway last weekend, the new textured spot in the bathroom where the wall was fixed and various other spots that needed touching up. Then I transferred the contents of 24 cans of paint into 24 quart and pint jars for easier storage. The remains will go to the recyling place.
I. AM. DONE.
The paintbrushes are going on an extended hiatus for the time being. My body is not very happy with me right now. That’s a whole lot of edging and straining and being on my feet. At least it is done now, and I did get a few things off my 2010 goal list. *big sigh*
I painted Brian’s office grey, so as to match an art print we both like. Anya’s room looks like a piece of bubblegum exploded, so she’s a happy little 4 year old girl. I did do some “swirlies” on the wall at her request in a darker pink and purple. I just need to do some organizing before showing pictures of her so very pink room. Maybe some curtains, too. It’s at least twice as big as her old room, so she can clutter up the space twice as much.
I know I owe some pictures of actual decorated spaces. I have been lax in that department lately. I’m hoping for this weekend. I am only home during daylights hours during the weekend, so I am a bit limited. Lately that time has been spent working on those spaces, so the pictures have taken a back seat. Luckily this weekend we are hosting a wine drinking party at our house for a few friends, so that means it will be clean and as decorated as possible. I am SURE I can grab some photos then. Well, pretty sure, anyways…
crap. i was hoping i could get you to come over and help me…we are just getting started over here! 🙂
can’t wait to see the pics. now you should get some rest…
Well done you!!!! I know how exhausting it is but also so satisfying to see the end result. Can’t wait to see the bubblegum bedroom. Sounds like fun!
Yikes! I hope your back is feeling ok today – I know that painting is the absolute worst thing I can do for my back! Can’t wait to see the pics & so glad for you that you are DONE!
hahahahah…oh wait it will probably be me painting the bathroom this summer I probably shouldn’t laugh. But oh do I understand being done with the paint and all the utensils that go along with it. 😉
Dear Lord, I cant imagine painting as much as you have!! I always get excited when I am going to paint a room…a clean slate and the fresh new color being applied….Makes me all giddy. But by the time I am done doing one coat, I just want to be done! I hope you are REALLY done now!! :0)
I don’t envy you all that work…but I do envy the results!!
I am tired just reading about all your painting. You have been one busy lady like usual.
