Loosing square footage....

I have issues, many issues....
this particular issue has to do with my incessant need to nest. I am forever in decorator mode in my house. Along with that issue comes the need to paint, and to most people (husband particularly) I paint way to often.

A friend so kindly said to me,

"With as much as you guys paint, your going to start loosing square footage."

hmmmm....never quite thought of it like that.

A few years ago I painted the master bedroom a dark brown. I thought it would be nice and cozy and warm. Needless to say it was a bit too cozy, almost cave like. So I finally was able to convince my husband that we needed to paint it, again. A light yellow, Morning Sunshine, to be exact. I just couldn't stand it anymore, it was WAY TO DARK! So, may I introduce our new morning sunshine..........





AHHHHH, now that feels so much better.

I am so thankful for my husband who had to spend an entire weekend painting, partly because he is a perfectionist, but mostly because it took 3 coats of paint (w/primer) and could have used a 4th. :)

oops, had no idea it would take that much time.

Guess, I better wait to ask when we can paint the guest bedroom.
