The Painting Saga (Part One)
OK ... so I'm not sure if you all know this about me ... but I am TERRIFIED to paint. I mean, I have NEVER painted (I'm talking about walls, etc.) and am absolutely scared to death to do so. My condo has badly needed to be painted since I purchased it over four years ago, but I'm scared!!
Scared? Yes, scared!! I am scared that it won't be perfect. I'm scared that it will take me three weeks to spackle, another three weeks to tape, and then about 3 months to get the paint just right. UGH!!
BUT ... my brother gave me a bed (long story ... but he gave me the bed from the guest room that they've now turned into the TWINS' bedroom). I have the bed in my living room right now (contingent on my buying a matress). Well, I bought the mattress this weekend, and it will be delivered next week (7/29). Thus ... I figure that it will be a good idea to paint inbetween beds ... I mean to say after I take down one bed, and before they move in the matresses for the other bed.
SO ... I have gotten myself motivated to paint my bedroom. I actually went to Home Depot this evening and spent about an hour at their computer/paint-idea generator. Then I took about two dozen cards with paint colors and bought a book about HOW to paint ... and I am now going to shut down my computer and will go and sit in my bedroom reading my painting book and contemplating what color(s) I want to use. Choosing colors ... that's what they say is the first step.
Why are there SO MANY versions of white. Isn't white just white??????
(By the way ... don't forget to look at pictures of the twins and of Ian!!) :-D

Kate is an expert painter. You should consult her. I wouldn't object if you wanted to pay her an ourtrageous fee for her valuable time, either. ;)
