Finished

I am so excited. I finished my first painting project. I finished it last night (Sat night/Sun morning) at 1am. I just finished putting the room together tonight and I think I will be able to sleep in my own bed tonight for the first time in 3 days. Last night there was a lot of frustration. I was praying that I didn't mess up the walls since I really had no idea what I was doing and they actually turned out alright. good thing cause I barely have anymore paint left. Anyhew I have a few touch ups to do that will be done sometime, but here are some pix of the finished product with everything in place. The color is called Teal Zeal by Behr. By the way I didn't clean the mirror and I promise that there are no roller marks, I done good. :) Oh and soon, I will have my beautiful white shutters in place of the curtains! I can't wait for those to come in and be installed.

~Mishap involving the roller and the ceiling. Sorry Matt.~

While the Husband is Away, The Wife Will...


PAINT!!!
I have finally started painting my house and boy am I tired just after priming. And this is only the master bath by the way which is a small master bath at that. I started today with taping off the room at around 2pm and finally at 8:30 I finally finished, again with only the primer. Home Depot also tinted the primer for me a few shades lighter than my final color and right now the room looks like a blue green robin egg color. Not Caribbean water color at all. But It will get there by Sat. Hopefully. Here are some of the started pix. The final color will be a teal/jade green and we have chocolate towels and floor mats. I can't wait till it is done.
Oh and Matt does know that I am doing this he might not like me to ruin a perfectly brand new house with a can of paint but he does support me as I am the one doing all of the manual labor on this, "Little Project."

~Primer Blue Green, and now that I am out of there and

not looking at the piant it is starting to look more green than blue~
