Watching Paint Dry

My sister bought a condo in December, and one of the joys of owning the space you live in is being able to decorate and paint and do whatever you want with it. One of the other joys is having to redecorate what the former owners thought was a good idea. Yesterday and today (and probably tomorrow, too) Em combined both those joys of homeowning by tackling the three different-colored walls in her bedroom--two walls are dark blue, one is brown, and the other is a lighter blue. Why?--we have no idea.

This is the room after she painted the first blue wall red. It's amazing how well the paint matches her bedspread.


This morning we started painting the other three walls white. I did the heavy duty rolling while Em did the small-paintbrush trim. I'm pretty sure my job was easier.


The first coat was on, we needed some more paint and some food, so we headed out...covered in paint.



Armed with full stomachs and a fresh gallon of paint we completed the second coat, which went a lot faster than the first coat. It all turned out pretty good. Next job will be painting the living room. I'll let you know when that is so y'all can help!

(Yep, I got paint on the hat, too!)
