the sun room

Painting a room may seem like a good idea... the first day. By the evening of the second one wonders why you didn't just pay someone to do it. But now the evil pumpkin color is gone from the sunroom, and it is all bright yellow. Sadly, it is a yellow that doesn't go at all with the rest of the house, but we like it, so there. It turns out that taping off and detailing takes at least as long as filling the walls, which came as something of a surprise. And on top of all that, it is apparently exhausting, which was also a surprise. But now it's (mostly) done, barring surprises when we go down to breakfast tomorrow, and so it makes us happy.

I (we) feel your pain. We pained the living room and kitchen just before we moved in last year and it was quite the chore. More recently, we painted the baby room and guest room. We didn't bother to tape this time; it takes just as long to simply be careful. Mistakes are wiped away easily enough. What fun!--Ryan L.
