Yes, I started another home project yesterday. I couldn't work on painting the band room/office because it's where my husband works from home and the fumes bother him while he is working, and I couldn't work on the kitchen floor without him, so I started the project that I have been meaning to do, painting the trim around the window in our downstairs bathroom (it's the same trim color as the bedroom trim, a dark gray). While I had that color of paint open, I also decided to paint the little end table in the bathroom to match the trim, and touch up the mirrored cabinets that I had already painted weeks ago. It was an easy and delightful little project.
As I was painting, I kept seeing these imperfections in the blue paint on the wall that I had painted years ago. So after I was done with gray, I whipped out the blue and started doing some touch ups. Unfortunately, the walls have gotten disgustingly dirty over the years, making them more of a gray tainted blue, so the new fresh blue I was using no longer matched. I ended up having to paint whole sections of the wall blue in order to blend in the new paint. Slightly frustrating, but at the end of the day, also quite delightful to have a freshly painted walls--- painting is much better than having to clean the walls, which never really get very clean no matter how much I scrub. I still have a few more areas to finish in the bathroom, but it already looks so much nicer than before. And it's a nice project to do that doesn't bother my husband while he is working. I really am loving sprucing up our house. Instead of spring cleaning, I much prefer spring painting and renovating, and it gets even better results!
With delight,
