Projects

Projects.... what seems like
an innocent deal turns out to
be a headache..

You start with one thing you
want to change. Put in a new
carpet. Innocent enough...
Next thing you are doing is
painting the walls. After all,
you have all the furniture out
of the room.

Maybe it isn't the project, it
is painting. You think small,
but painting ALWAYS FOLLOWS.

4 years ago we put in carpet.
First one bedroom and then the other.
And painted.

3 years ago painted the front
of the sink, which led to putting
in linoleum and painted the walls.

Put in a new window.. and
yes, now we have to paint the
wall. After all, we had to replace
a section of drywall. And you
can't get away with just painting
one wall.

So yesterday, we went to Home
Depot because they have a paint
computer. You pick out what you
think looks good for paint. Then
go to the computer. Go thru the
process of finding the room you
are doing. Touch the paint color,
touch the wall that you want that
color, bam, the wall is that color.
Then we decided we wanted
two colors for the two walls. One
went well. The other... well... after
3 different choices, and yes, we
are still talking to each other...we
found one that we think we like.

Hit print out. All I could think of
while I looked at the print out..
was how I wish I could do that
at home. Touch the wall with
the paint color and wham... the
wall was painted.

I am so NOT looking forward to
this project. Luckily the King
has his truck tore apart so the
painting of the living room is on
hold.
