When I Paint My Masterpiece...

Ok, so we didn't paint our masterpiece this weekend. We did, however, repaint our bedroom. And, I'm proud to say...We're still married! We started Saturday morning by going to Home Depot and buying our paint and necessary tools. We came home and finished taping off the trim and we were ready to start painting the primer. Now, here is a before picture.

As you can see, this was pretty dark. So, it took two coats of white primer and a night spent in the bonus room. We woke up yesterday morning, but being so tired for some reason, I fell back asleep after taking Zoey outside and John, being Mr. Fix-it, changed his brakes and oil while I was asleep. So, when he got done, we went up to paint the first coat of yellow. Let me just establish what our jobs are when it comes to painting. I mask and trim; John rolls. I have no upper arm strength, so he does better there. So, I was all ready to get to trimmin' when he told me to go ahead and run to Sam's and the other errands while he painted. How great is he?! When I got home, about 2 hours later, he was DONE!!! He is so good to me.

It turned out really well and so after Desperate Housewives, we moved the furniture back into place. It got too late, so I'll post updated pictures later!

A painted bedroom and a happy marriage...all in all I would say the weekend was a success!
