Ohhhh. It’s 10:37 as I begin to write and I am taking a break from painting the bathroom. My mom has the kids tonight so I thought I should take advantage of it and do some projects around the house. All afternoon I cleaned out sheds and went through old clothes and reorganized. It was a very productive day. Then, Rob and I took a short trip to Lowe’s to price fencing material (wow!) and I decided to get some more wood to make another window box. Came home and built that. So, at 9:30 tonight I started sanding the bathroom walls.
I am crazy! I took the wallpaper off months ago and just have not been motivated to tackle this project. I knew it would be a biggie. I think I started a little late tonight. But after nearly an hour of sanding and then cleaning, I was ready to begin painting. I bought this paint..it’s an oatmeal/tan/beige color called saddle back when we still live in AR. And I never got around to using it to paint my bathroom there. It had never even been opened, so I thought if it was still good, it’s time to use this stuff up. I have rolled on one coat so far and now it is drying. I have all the cutting in to and that will be a big project too. So, tonight I might be up half the night. Because I intend to get this done and cleaned up before I go to bed. We’ll see. I’m not a young chicken like I used to be.
But bye-bye 1980 velvet wallpaper!
