Today is December 14th. Only one more week until we leave for New York City. You would think that my mind would be focused on wrapping presents and travel preparations. Nope, today I painted the family room.
We decided that we were going to turn the family room into a pool (table) room. In anticipation that we would be able to get a good deal after Christmas, we arranged to have wood floors put in before the holidays. While I was waiting for the floor delivery person, I got the brainstorm that we should paint this weekend. I mean, we're ripping up the ugly green carpet that is there; there's no reason why we can't spill a little paint on it first.
So today I removed all the pictures and hardware from the walls. Took down the curtains. Went to Lowe's and bought paint and new hardware. Taped up the trim and started painting. I freaked out a little because the paint went on very light. So light, in fact, I couldn't tell where the painting began and ended. Fortunately it dried to the light green that I picked out from the card sample. With the wood floors and a classy pool table, the room will be a great place to hang out.
