who needs bob villa



this is phase A of project 1. spence has been telling me to paint a wall and make this place look like martha stewart lives here. (post prison of course) so here is a glimpse of our home make over, i'm painting the wall red! ah i went to home depot and picked out the paint, got all the supplies (since dad's handy shed with every tool you can imagine isn't here) and went to work. i put the primer on the wall and realized that once you go red you can't really go back...and what if...what if...spence doesn't like it! luckily his brain is so fried from studyin 18hrs a day that so far he loves it. so i'll keep you posted only 2more coats to go. thanks amanda for the helpful hints and the quick 101 of paint lingo.

Car how fun!!! I have a trick to share! You may have already heard this but when you tape off the wall you paint the original color over the tape. For example if the wall is white you paint white on the tape and it seals off so that the color you are painting doesnt bleed through. That way when you peel off the tape you have a nice crisp line! Saves lots of time! Good luck. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
