Day 42

Last night my friend Lisa came over and helped me paint Penelope's room.  We got the first coat on, then called it a night.  The drywall compound that was used to patch up the wall really sucks up the paint, so it took a full gallon.

 

 

My dad and Josh were insulating the kitchen while we painted.

 

Today my dad spent a lot of time cleaning the kitchen and it is now the cleanest room in the house.

 

Today I painted Penelope's closet and can now say that I hate painting closets!  It looks really bad and will definitely need a second coat.  After I was done there, I did a second coat on the rest of the room.

 

My last project for the day was the accent wall in our room.  The rest of the walls will be gray.  I'm hoping it will look nice.  I'm kind of nervous with such a bold choice.  This is where our bed will go, so even if I hate it, it will be covered up a lot.

 

I was so messy when I got home.  Penelope got a dry dish towel and tried to wipe off the paint from my pants and hands.  "Help you clean up, Mommy!"

 

 

Also, the snow was really pretty when I left, so I tried to capture it in a picture.
