I'm going to paint the office. Finally. Then, hopefully, I will be inspired to finish the rest of the house. We even already bought the paint - 4th of July weekend. lol

Seriously, is it because I'm older or because I have a child that makes me overly optimistic & incredibly foolish? Stick out tongue

What crazy things are you all up to?

Good luck. I painted the livingroom and the hall not long ago and I keep looking at my kitchen and down the stairs lol maybe one day I will get to it. I couldn't imagine painting with Kiya on the move I'm sure there would of been more of a mess then what I already made.

I'm painting my attic this week! (I'm turning it into a playroom). Good luck with your painting endeavor!

As someone who has painted my entire house, I think taking the time to tape off all the trim makes such a difference...time consuming at first, but when the messy part comes, it makes life so much easier!

I do not envy you. DH and I had never painted a room before, so when we decided to paint the nursery when I was 5 months pregnant we had no idea how long it would take. It only took 2 nights, but I remember it being a LOT of work.

I'm currently teaching myself how to crochet and knit. It's way more complicated than I thought it would be. lol

We are in process of doing our entire house. We did the upstairs (3 bedrooms & totally gutted/re-did the bathroom) last year. Now we have the other 2/3 of the house.

Sadly, I cannot tape to save my arse! However, I can paint a really straight line & we have the ceilings/walls different colors. And the bonus - we are replacing the trim! They messed it up pretty bad, so it's just easier to replace.

Yeah, your house is so nice looking now though!

I am cheating & painting the kitchen cabinets! I hate the crap-job yellow the last owners put on it! It's all runny & not cute. At. All. Some year, I hope to just re-do the kitchen, but I will settle for not awful!

Good luck! We've been living with hideous walls since we moved into our house 3 years ago. The previous owners loved tacky wallpaper and accent walls. DH thinks we should just plan our decor around them. Riiight. Unfortunately, we have really high ceilings, so I practically need scaffolding to get up to the top to remove/repaint. Painting is such a great fix for a room, I'm sure you'll be so glad to have it done.
