Weekend Project No. 1

Now that I have the leisure of doing what I want to the house (because I own it.. still so weird), I've been compiling a To Do List of Weekend Projects. Since I haven't owned a house before, & have very little experience working on a house, I decided to start out with something small & easy; yet very important... I painted our master bathroom pink!! 

After 2 new magazine subscriptions, 3 weeks of research, HGTV, Pinspiration & a battle with our laziness, we went to the glorious Home Depot & purchased all of our painting supplies & 1 gallon of Behr, VOC-Free (Volatile Organic Compound) paint in a pink shade called 'Frolic'. 

It was a lot more work than I thought it would be because I, of course, think that I'm the most coordinated person on the planet & it turns out to be quite the opposite. Luckily, I had Trev there to bring me back to reality & help me tape all the places that shouldn't have paint, that I would most definitely have gotten paint on. 

After the long process of taping, situating our Eco-Friendly drop cloth &  making sure our curious cats stay out of the bathroom, we finally got to painting!

& this is how it turned out:

The day I started this project, I saw a Home Depot commercial where a lady paints her bedroom bright blue & bright green. As soon as she finishes & shows her husband the result, she quickly stands up & says "I wan't to paint something else!" - Well the whole time I was painting, that commercial was playing in my head & I kept thinking, 'That b!%$*! How could she be so excited to do this to more than once? I'm never painting anything ever again!' - But now that I'm finished & walk into my lovely pink bathroom every day, I really can't wait to paint more rooms in our house!
