{April 21, 2013}   Navajo White…very neutral

The bedroom and bathroom are now back to a neutral color…sigh.

As you may have deduced, I a moving across the country and what I have to do here is sell my house, fingers crossed for me my friends! And what has to happen when you need to sell a house? You have to stage and fix stuff, and pack, pack and pack, ugh.

So this weekend, I had a Painting, Packing, Pizza Party! Sounds fun, right? Right!

CKM and CA came over Friday night to help convert the, get this, Pucker Up Green bathroom, yes I said, Pucker Up green! And today, SDL came with Miss A and her sister, DJL to help CKM and I paint the PUMPKIN orange bedroom! Ever have the desire to sleep in a tangerine? This would have been your opportunity! I say that SDL came to help CKM and I because CKM spent the weekend, bless her!

We had a really good system going in the rooms, in the bathroom CA did the upper trim, I did the lower trim and CKM took care of the middle with the paint roller. It worked quite well, we rocked the bathroom in about three hours. Yes, there was pizza involved, not to worry, we started with that.

The good thing, the paint came with primer in it, so we didn’t need 3 coats, just 2. The bathroom is now a nice cream, kind of bland compared to the rest of the house but its a room that someone can look at and imagine how they might want to paint it,

Today, same system, different players. SDL on the upper trim, me on the bottom and CKM in the middle with the roller. The good thing was that the bedroom did not have vaulted ceiling like the bathroom, no light fixtures to get around, definitely easier. We finished in about three hours as well. We definitely made a great team and I didn’t have to do it by myself which is the best part!

I’ve attached a few photos, you can get an idea of the colors it was to the color it is/needs to be. The realtor is happy and my response to her text, after seeing the pictures, first “you’re awesome and a Wonder Woman”well, yes… and, “you must be dyin!” ” nope, I still have the rest of house for color!”

CKM and I did some packing last night, but, folks, I got a lot of stuff and even though we know we did a bunch, it didn’t seem like it! Tonight after everyone left, I packed up some stuff in the living room. Next weekend is part two of Pizza, Packing, Painting Party, luckily for anyone who comes to help, no painting!

Thank you SDL, CKM and CA for helping me paint, you guys were fantastic and a life saver! And thanks to my neighbor, DG for the extra high ladder and cutting my grass, you’re awesome! I am one lucky girl!
