So, why am I doing it? Because I have a limited budget. Here is the situation: The girls need (I'd like to think it's not just momma who wants it) a new room. From top to bottom (literally). Here is the problem: We do not have limitless funds. Here is the solution (step 1 - there are about 200 in case you were wondering): I will paint so that I have a little more money to spend on the other 3000 things I want for them.
Since I am having to suffer, I figure you guys can suffer a little, too. No blog posts for awhile. Collective AWWWW. If I never come back - send help (as in: a painter that you guys will pay for).
JUST IN CASE this endeavour is remotely successful (I have huge doubts), I took some "befores." (I am also buying a large case of beer at Costco tomorrow and I have the best, best recipe for brownies like EVER - more on the brownies later after I at least get one wall - or half a wall - done.) I also have a Pinterest board on girls' room ideas (feel free to give me some great ideas).

| Despite how the girls' room looks I am not afraid of color. (See the "High Strung Green" hallway paint? I did not paint that.) |
 |
| I have to tell myself, "I am painting for bunk beds." |
 |
| Yes, it's small and crowded. |

Can't you get Kelly to help? She is really good at paining and she actually likes it, sick I know.
Good luck I hope you all survive.
Good luck! It's pretty much my least favorite thing. I hope it goes okay for you.
Good luck! I have stripped wallpaper in 4 rooms in this house, and painted all of them. I am not any good at all, but it looks better than the 70's wallpaper did!

I am so not dometicated.
I am so not domesticated and talented with things like painting, decorating, etc.
@Leigh - oh I am waaaaaaaaay out of my comfort zone. Just hoping that I have made good decisions and that my painting will not look so bad that I have to hire someone to fix it. ;o) Super happy that I am not the only one. ;o)
