Feeling Blue

This past weekend we decided to paint our bedroom and pick up some paint for our front room, something we’ve been meaning to do since we bought our house almost three years ago.

I’m not sure why it has taken us so long to finally get moving on some of these projects that could have easily been done before we had a baby. Eh, life is more exciting this way and we like to live life on the edge!!

We were able to assist Barry with the taping and Maggie spent a good portion of this time listening to the echo of her voice in the cavernous room. It was all sorts of adorable until she cranked it up a notch and our eardrums nearly split.

I can now say that I have no idea how to pick out paint and have it look the same on our walls as it does on the swatch. We were hoping for a small dusting of blueish grey; we now have a blue bedroom. As Barry painted, I wrangled Maggie and she decided to take her first steps. Yeah, she’s been taking baby steps for a while now, but she suddenly decided to take multiple steps in a row! Like 7 steps in a row!  I brought her into The Painting Zone and let her take some steps on our bed frame so Barry could witness the milestone.

By the time Barry was done painting and I was done wrangling, it was time for bed. The reality of even attempting to move things back in the room was daunting and a bit stinky. So, we camped out in our front room and literally waited for the paint to dry. I don’t have an ‘after’ photo, but things look amazingly better, if not a bit blue.
