I'm pleased as punch to have finally finished the painting in the kitchen! It's only been three years of procrastinating for only a few hours of work. Mental note, next time, just get 'er done! Front room accent wall is done too, just a little more painting in the hallway and I'm done! Pat, pat, pat...pat myself on the back.
Feeling victorious, I decided to take on the bookcase that I've been wanting to paint since the day I brought it home from the thrift store "last night". "Last night" as in the way my three year old explains time. Example: "That Valentine's party we had last night was fun." Apparently, I need years to complete simple painting tasks. 'Nuff said.
Smartly, I used child labor encouraged my childrens' creative side and they primed the bookshelf while I primed the kitchen walls. And they did a good job! My little guy there had the whole side done in no time at all. Maybe I should employ their help more often?
I thought and I thought and I thunk some more and finally, thanks to my friends fun color choice, found a color for the bookcase. What does one call it? Chartreuse? Yellow-green? Grellow? At first, I wasn't so sure of it since at night it was kindly referred to as neon-pickle colored.
