Big Blue

Well went all out today and took off the afternoon from work to paint the guest bedroom. Probably should of taken a bunch of photos to document the thing for no reason other then to document it for historians to analyze 800 years later whilst trying to determine the primitive lifestyle of those of us living in the year 2008. I didn't though so onwards.

Went with an eggshell sheen as opposed to the original semi-gloss. In fact that was really the only change as I stuck with the same color, Ocean Sigh (is that really a color, sounds more like a sound effect to be honest). Painting went surprisingly well, taping was probably the biggest pain. I did not tape the ceiling and I really should have. There is now an uneven blue edge to most of it and at some point when I get re-motivated I will have to tape off the walls and re-paint the ceiling edge white. At least I only needed one coat.

Looking at it now as the sun is setting (so there is no direct sunlight into the room) it looks pretty good. I think I maybe should have gone with maybe one grade flatter sheen but it's def an improvement over the previous. I still like the color that got picked out. I wonder if it would be more helpful if they made the little color cards with a color different variations of sheen too cause that's what got us in the first place.

So if you want to see the redone room stop over. Maybe not this weekend cause Josh will be crashing there!

Speaking of this weekend, any of the -3 readers who are from Point (that's all -e/i^2 of you), at some point a bunch of us are going to see the new Indiana Jones. Somehow I got put in charge although no one let me know. I am attempting to coordinate now so if you are interested give me a holler. I'm targeting Saturday at this point cause I think the girls are moving on Sunday and Josh will be here Saturday night.

That is all. On a side end note I will try and blog more regularly as Dani says its good for my 3.5 brain cells. And she's a geneticist so I'd better believe her! (Or to quote Futurama: "Better listen to him, he's a whale biologist.")
