This summer was a time of room renovations! Our home owners were so
gracious to let us paint our baby room and our exchange student's room.
My mom came to help me paint one week while Eric was in North Carolina
for his doctoral class. Then we finished up the painting when he
returned. The project took MUCH longer than anticipated. The primer we
were using at first turned out to be this almost neon greenish yellowish
color. Mom and I kept thinking it would get better. :) The top coat
paint color ended up being a BRIGHT yellow. Yellow and cheerful we
wanted, but you know the paint is bright when you go to a room across
the hall and think the light is on in the other room but it's really
not. It was way too bright - headache bright. Eric came home after 2
primer coats and 1 top coat in one room and trim in the second room. We
went the next morning I found some new yellow paint. The people at
Sherwin Williams were so nice and exchanged our paint. I discovered that
I LOVE painters tape! My mom can paint a straight line in good time
without painters tape. I can paint a straight line if I take FOREVER
because I like everything to be just right. I finally gave in to the
painters tape and felt so free because I didn't have to worry about
painting a straight line! Mom and I had such a special week together
working in the rooms. It was nice to finally make some progress in the
rooms and to start getting them ready at the start of the summer. The
painting week was also VBS week, so it definitely made for a crazy week.
Thank you, Mom, for coming to help me and spend time with me! I love
and appreciate you!!!! Thanks also goes out to my granddad for helping
us get the paint we needed. Rachel and our future baby will be so
blessed! Finally having paint on the wall created just the canvas needed
to get the rooms on their way to readiness. Enjoy the painting
pictures!
