One Step Forward and Two Steps Back

We got the house painted last week. (interior) Same colors, it was just in desperate need of a fresh coat. We haven't painted since T bought the house like 5 years ago. The painting was the final step before I could really get a handle on organization. It all looks great and it feels so good to have baseboards that weren't full of scuffs from T's bachelor days.

The only two rooms that weren't painted were the bedrooms because they were done pretty recently. The baby's room was going to have to be patched where we took pictures down. That took place today. Unfortunately, I didn't have the same gallon of paint as the last time, so I had to go to Sherwin Williams and get a quart in the same color and hope that it matched. Well.... it didn't. It is too light. My walls look like one of those horrible prom photos where someone was wearing too light of a foundation. (The sort of splotchy ghost look.) So attractive.

I really need this done before Friday because that is when the baby furniture is getting delivered and assembled. (The company is doing it, not us. We are incapable of anything handy) The room is small and it would be a PIA to move the furniture around to paint once it's in there. I put in an emergency call to the painter to see if he could do it with this short of notice. if not, I'm going to do it myself. Did I mention I am so not handy?
