After waiting over a year to "find the time" to repaint my room (which had previously been a terrible orange/gold/yellow) I finally sacrificed 3 days and did it all. Joel was a great sport about picking the colors, the new bedspread, and this new
over sized chair for our bay window, even though we had to sacrifice two date nights to do it.
We love it all!! Emery and Savannah had to make the second greatest sacrifice (only after me) by not having mommy time for three days, and having to sit outside the door and watch. But now they like it
soo much they keep telling me to come paint their rooms.
We still need to get good artwork (we are working on it) of wedding photos and such (still trying to locate the negatives.... why didn't we have a real photographer???). Joel has a night stand for the first time in 6 years!
Then I moved right on to the bathroom with a pale blue that goes well off of our bedroom grey/blue color. It makes the bathroom look cleaner, nicer and all around better.
I love new paint... I think I will move on to the basement... then the hallways... then the kids bathrooms... until I have to head outside to work I guess I will just keep painting.
One night I couldn't find Emery in his bed, so I went looking and found him in bed with his sisters. The next morining Joel asked him why he got in their bed, and Emery told him that he was scared of monsters. He knew that he was safe in bed with Natalie and Savannah because a monster would be scared of the three of them. So cute.
