Painting

Hello to each and every one of my blogger buddy's. Its almost four o'clock my two oldest granddaughters have left after painting for a couple of hours. I am hiring them to do a bedroom for me.

This is the bedroom that Alicia had when she was living with me. I had let her paint it whatever color she wanted at the time. It was a little to dark for me so here is the new color. I think its gray they think its light light purple.


You can see the base board was the color she had painted this one wall the other wall was lighter purple
she never did finish her painting of the base boards.


They are going to come back
tomorrow to finish it and paint the trim....that's a string from the blinds you see hanging down....I had to go back into the room to see what it was myself. 

Now the reason I didn't know for sure what the color was going to look like is because I got it out of the bargain
paint  where someone mixed it and didn't buy it....there was three gallons of the same color at 5.48  each....I'm cheap like that people.... just can't seem to help myself.

I  like it so I will be using it in my other two rooms....if I can get the girls to paint them....I am just not up to doing this anymore. I had started to painting this shelf. My sister had sitting on her front porch to put in the trash.
I couldn't see it being throw out.
What would that cost to buy.

 I sanded it and put two coats of paint on it....it still needed another one so my sweet sweet Hubby his name is Doug...finished it for me
today...now he's outside painting the closet doors that we haven't gotten around to since we moved. I had painted them all with primer.....then my old body just said no more painting.

 Here it is now


 Its holding my crafting flowers now.
I will be moving it to the newly painted room.

The shelves look so pretty painted white. What a difference. I'm glad the paint color turned out good for you.

Good Morning Trish!

I absolutely love that little shelf...you and your husband did a great job! You are a girl after my own heart...rescuing "treasures" about to be thrown out...buying "bargain" paint...I love it! It is amazing what we can do with a bit of creativity! How wonderful that your girls are painting for you. There is something so refreshing about a newly painted room!

Have a wonderful weekend!

I like your room colour, it is favourite colour of kids. A little shelf is very attractive, it is such a unique collection.
