How I Spent My Weekend
We bought a home just over a year ago and are finally getting around to making it “ours”. Our first project was to paint the boys’ bedroom. Logan loves color and had very strong opinions about wanting a dark blue room, we were able to get his buy in to add some green, using their curtains as our color source. The Home Depot Behr color computer scanner nailed the colors perfectly and it looks amazing. We still need to do the trim work at a later date, but for now Brad and I are really proud of ourselves and the boys love it.
It wasn’t excessively exhausting to do a 10 x 10 room and we were able to take time away to eat sushi with a wonderful couple last night and hold another couple of good friend’s four day old baby girl. But at home this weekend I patched drywall, applied caulk, sanded, painted, and cleaned up spilled paint on carpet. Having never done any of these things before, I feel an incredible sense of accomplishment and pride.

Scary first coat of the green that was more like a 1980s florescent green in the can.

Second coat of the green and it’s more of a olive with a yellow hue to it.

The final product. Two coats of green and two coats of blue with a white stripe for definition.
