Summer Projects!

Saturday, my mom came and helped me paint the bedroom a color called "sea adventure". It was the darkest color either of us have ever painted with, so we were a little nervous about it. My goal with this color was the match it to an odd Italian painting we have over the bed. This color matches perfectly!


I didn't take a before picture, so this is kinda what it looked like. (This is the hobby/junk room)




Saturday morning, we painted the wall behind the bed where the picture is. It looked great.


Just one wall painted




My mom and I waited anxiously for Paul to get home from work to see if he would like it. That's one of the reasons why we just did one wall. We didn't want it to be too dark. So.. Paul gets home.. and loves it, but he wants to paint the whole room in it. So.. my mom and Jojo went back to Aiken and Paul and I stayed up till 3AM painting the rest of the room. Sunday, we were in a whole lot of pain. lol! I think it looks good.


All the walls painted: Where's Friskie?




Better picture of the painting




Monday, I decided to paint the bathroom.


Bathroom Before





I painted the bathroom a clear turquoise. It took me all day Monday and Tuesday to get it done. I am going to get a fierily-orange and purple sunset poster to put over the white cabinets.

After: I am still deciding on the flowers to use: Pink Roses or Tropical orange and purple?







Honey checking it out





I think they like it. :)



That has been the project this week. Next week, I start back to school. I'm pretty excited about it.
