Thoughts on Paint

I learned some things about myself and paint today. The first being that paint and I go together about as well as brownies and tartar sauce. I was dumb enough to spend my day shut in my tiny half bath with a tiny roller and a gallon of paint. Here are some helpful tips for your future paint project.

1. When your husband is picky...ahem, particular, just let him pick the paint color. Don't try to save time by just running up to Lowe's yourself. He will ultimately pick a color that is a slight variation of the color you chose, but your eyes deceive you apparently. You should have known that "Shark Fin" and "Elephant Gray" couldn't have been that similar, as they come from different realms of the animal kingdom. (We went with "Almost Charcoal." PETA, you're welcome.)

2. NO room is small enough to warrant using only a 3 inch roller. NO ROOM. Even rooms that can only fit your butt and a ladder using very creative geometry. 3 inches equals 3 hours longer!

3. Don't paint when you're mad. It results in tiny splatters everywhere. You know what? Yes, you deserved that job, and they all but promised it to you....right? Right.....their loss......anyway, where was I? Oh yes! Always be in good spirits when you paint!

4. Always leave a little paint somewhere on your body or clothing so that when you have to go to the tee-ball game, your friends will say, "Oh, you've been painting!" And you can be like, "Yes, my goodness, I have just been painting all day" and they will be totally jealous of your awesome bathroom!

I hope these tips have been helpful to you. I will probably never paint again, so feel free to come on over and put them to use in my foyer.
