The previous owners painted it blue...and not sky blue but freaking blue. I wish I would have taken a picture of it...I think I have one but oh well. This is as close to it as I can get. Anyhow, I came up with the idea of "Hey, lets paint the boys room, rip up the rug and put flooring and lets do it this weekend." Kris agreed surprisingly and we got too it. The first task was to move all the stuff out of the room. DAMN!! The boys don't stay with us much now but they sure have a lot of freaking stuff. So much stuff it took over the living room and family room. Once it was all out...we ripped off the rug. Which was totally cool because I've never done such stuff before. I mean I've put up shelves and fixed draws but that about it. The fu
nny thing is that Kris trusted me to use a box cutter for the rug and not myself. For a second I started cutting the rug from the top. I got smart 5 minutes after I started...turning the rug over and cutting it. I love destruction. It wasn't as dusty as I thought...not too bad. The rug ripping went pretty fast. Then it was figuring out that the flooring would be best to buy at Costco. We have gotten all gun hoe and are planning on doing three rooms in the house. Lets see. Anyhow Kris bought enough for the kids room and I bought the paint and stuff. Kris tackled the blue with his paint sprayer...the primer was gray and basically all night we were thinking it needed more primer because the blue kept creeping through. But the next morning we noticed that it was pretty covered...and we were off to Lowe's for more stuff. The ceiling was the toughest part because I wanted it brilliant white. He started off painting it...but I took that pressure off of him. LOL. The painting went pretty good. And I must say that I taped up the room pretty good. I would post a picture but I didn't take any. I picked a strawberry malt with some other sort of brown. Kris says it was pink...but it dried tan. I can't wait to do the trim and door in the high gloss enamel. The room is going to look awesome. I guess home improvements aren't going to make or break us...so one less thing to tackle.*yes the hoiday weekend, no BBQ for us.
