"Let's paint the bathroom, it's small, should be easy". Uggghhh! Whenever someone claims something is easy keep calm but walk swiftly in the other direction and pretend the conversation never took place.
Unfortunately, I did not take my own advice and got suckered into painting. I never have enjoyed painting. There is so much preparation, washing the walls, taping the woodwork and windows, pulling off switch plates etc. You realize during the process of taping that there are small areas that will be difficult to squeeze a paint brush in to but you continue on.
Now it is time to begin painting...the primer. That's right you want the paint job to look good and last so you start with primer. This is going to take forever! You pull the lid off stir the paint then pour it into the paint tray, tip the paint can back and now it begins. Paint drips down the side of the paint can all over your hand. You swear loudly but you are alone and get no sympathy. You dive in and begin painting, first the ceiling then the walls. Oh crap, I can't tell where I've painted, the primer is white and so is the current wall and ceiling. You stand back to inspect and see some missed areas, not realizing you are stepping into a small unnoticed pool of paint. The phone rings, nice time for a break so you run to catch the phone. After a 3 min conversation with your sister you decide you better get back to painting. As you walk back down the hallway you eye catches smudges of paint on the floor. Nooooooo! You then discover the paint on the soles of your old shoes! You finish off painting the primer and decide to let it dry over night. Maybe my husband will finish it for me but of course this a delusion because he hates painting too and it was part of the bargain you would do the painting and he would do put up the crown molding.
I still haven’t finished painting I don’t think I even like the paint color any more.
