In Full Swing - priming finished!

Well, I've got it started!!

On Thursday I joined the Procrastinators Party over at The Inspired Room and committed to getting Sunshine's old room repainted so I can move my home office into this space. You can read about my project in this post.

My project is now in full swing.......

I took everything off the walls, cleaned some of the little junk up out of the room, moved everything else to the center and got started! (that elliptical looks like it's getting a lot of use doesn't it? LOL)

Pink is a HARD color to cover up!! - 2 coats of primer and I can still faintly see pink, but I think the new color will cover it fine.


Now that I have the room primed and ready to paint. I tried out all of my color choices and FINALLY decided on a color! Woohoo! See my 6 swatches on the wall? LOL


Now I need to head to Lowes and buy my paint!! at this rate maybe I can even get my desk painted before the deadline!!


After all of my painting yesterday, I soaked in the tub filled with Dr. Teal's Eucalyptus and Spearmint Epsom Salt!

It's just what the doctor ordered after a day like that! The essential oils induced a sense of relaxation while easing the discomfort of my aching muscles!

You can find this wonderful product at WalMart stores and you can't beat the price - I think I paid just under $5 for a 3 pound bag!!

Woohoo! Way to get started! I haven't yet... and I set way lower goals than you! LOL. When we converted my daughter's room to the office, we didn't even prime! ARGH... great idea, btw! LOL.

So could have used some epsom salts yesterday, as well... we helped put our neighbor's HUGE trampoline together and both my husband and I are feeling it today. LOL.

Oh to be as wise as the tidymom! :)

You are my new hero, yes you are.

Purchased paint and supplies to do my kids' rooms...LAST summer. I definitely plan to get it all done THIS summer.

One thing at a time, right?

Great Job! I have a room project that I totally need to get started on. Maybe I should join the Procrastinators Party!

Interesting...I knew that red paint is hard to cover up, but I didn't know pink was as well!

Wow! Big job! I keep wanting to paint our office, but it's such a daunting task! And the elliptical makes a great paint stand!
