After painting last weekend with my mom this made Clayton and I excited to continue painting and try and finish the bedrooms and start on the living room and the hallway. We had a hard week so we decided to go to bed early on Friday (11:00pm). This meant that we woke up early on Saturday!! Clayton had biscuits and chocolate milk ready for me when I woke up in bed---This is the best way to wake up--aka free room service :)!!! I just LOVE him!:)
After we ate our breakfast we put on our painting clothes, left to go to the house, and start on the living room and hallway. I had a baby shower to go to so all we were able to get painted was the 1st coat in the living room and hallway. While I was gone Clayton utilized his time!! He ripped up the linoleum in the kitchen and gathered some of the garbage that needed to be hauled off and took it to the Waddy Dump.
On Sunday we decided to once again get up early and put the last coat of paint in the office, master bedroom, hallway and the living room. My mom has snagged an AWESOME deal on some paint at Sherwin Williams; $5 dollars a gallon. And it was also the off white color that I had wanted which also made it even more AWESOME! However, we had already put in two coats in the bedroom and the office and it was still in need of one more. So we started in these two rooms and gave them there last coat. The purple is now officially gone in the master! :)
Yes, the Sherwin Williams brand was clearly cheaper but, it also took three coats to cover up not only the master but the office as well, on the other hand the hallway and living room only needed one more coat and we used the Valspar paint from Lowes to do this room. So naturally we liked putting on two coats rather than three coats of paint! The Sherwin Williams brand was cheaper vs. the Valspar, but if we had to pick our favorite would be the Valspar.
Painting sounds boring to some but Clayton and I found a way to make it fun! We had his mom's ipod that’s full of allllll types of music; we put it on shuffle and just let it play whatever! If you were to walk in on us you would think we were at a Karoke bar. We are working on being professional painters not singers!!....And it just so happened that while we were painting the living room one of my ALL TIME favorite songs played- "Lead Me On" Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty....And because Clayton has heard this song a million times he sang along with me using his paint roller as a microphone! This was PRICELESS and SO MUCH FUN! :)
We had set a goal to finish these three rooms this weekend and we did and it was so much FUN!!! But then again anything that the two of us do together might not always be easy but its always fun and eventful! :))))
