Before And After

I did it. I finally made myself finish painting the girls' room. I painted one coat on the ceiling and took a break, painted another coat and took a break. Then I spent two sessions cutting in the corners and around the window and doors. It wasn't that bad because it's a small room but I was exhausted by the time I dropped into bed last night.



It's difficult to really tell the difference because of the different lighting. I must have taken the first photo in the late afternoon and the next photo I took in the bright morning light.



But do you love it? I love it!! I'm so glad I finished it instead of chickening out halfway through. I like how it accents the lower walls and trim and makes it look like it's painted a color instead of just a version of white. I know you people with red walls think I'm crazy making such a big deal out of white and off white but I can't help my obsessive compulsive disorder!

I'm seriously not afraid of color, I promise. See what I did in my son's room? And I had all kinds of color in my last house. I'm just steering away from too much craziness in this house because I don't want to get sick of the paint any time soon!

This was Persistence's girlie room in our last house. Too much purple!
