Let There Be Color!

This weekend is the first weekend in ages that we haven't had a soccer game to go to, a birthday party to attend, or other places to be.  What a treat!

When I saw that today was going to be blissfully unscheduled, I took a look at the office that has been crying out to be put back together for a few weeks now and knew what the agenda for the day would be.

Painting!

Of the colors we were considering, we ended up using the Martha Stewart Shale.  In the can in looks like a pure grey, but on the wall it takes on a really pretty grey/blue/purplish tone.  It's pretty, and while darker, still neutral.  I'm beyond happy with it.

Mom, (AKA the master edger) came over to help.  I'm glad she did.  Not only did it make short work of the project, she's really good at edging.

Christian didn't want to be left out, so he grabbed a roller and went to work.


So, just about 2 hours after we started, we were done. Mom has a before and almost after over at Respublica.

I'm thrilled to have color in the house!  Now I'm going to let the paint dry, hang the pictures on the wall, and bring up the desk.  The room is almost ready to be put to use again.
