Crazy.Painters

You'd think after the weeks of painting our entire condo just months ago, I would be tired of it and never want to see a paint brush again. Negative. Now I just want to spruce up everything else and what easier way than with a new coat of paint. I was given a bedroom set by a sweet old neighbor lady I had worked for when I was in high school right after she died. It was oak, fairly beat up and I just didn't love the color of it. After having it in our room for 3+ years I decided to take a paint brush to it this past weekend!




After a LOT of sanding, priming, hating the first two colors we put on it, to finally finding the right shade, its improved our bedroom look by leaps and bounds!

Let the fun begin!! (not a very pretty photo post)

This week is a big first for Joel and I- We, at some point in the next two weeks, are closing on our first place. A little two bedroom condo just about 10 minutes from where we live now. We are so excited and it will be a blast but there is lots of work yet to be done... please note the dark hi-gloss horribly painted rooms EVERYWHERE! I, for the first time this weekend, purchased a FIVE gallon bucked of primer- and that probably won't be the last of it! :)

*a snippet of the task ahead of us- really?





*there is every shade of the rainbow throughout this place- included: a baby blue garage

*the deceivingly in tact bathroom- there are three layers of flooring stacked on top of each other, causing the doors not to close




We are so excited and ready to be moved in and ready to go but know it will be a fun project in the time being. Let the priming begin!
