Paint, Paint and Paint...This Time ONLY On The Wall!

Weh Di Go Aan?!  Alright, let's not talk about what a bad blogger I am.  Life will get in the way and before I know it time has passed before I have updated you all.  I hope you're loving the new design.  I need to play with it a big more but I'm pretty proud of the way it has turned out.

Well as you can tell from my blog title, I have been painting.  Painting a new room you ask? Um...not exactly.  I actually finished painting the living room I described here back in November prior to leaving for my Thanksgiving travels. Why did it take 8 months you ask? Because I tried to tackle the task by myself but it was too much.  I needed to move furniture and fixtures and had to concede that I needed assistance.  In steps in the hubs and our teen.  The process still took longer than I wanted but was much faster with the three of us working instead of one.  Also, the teen is taller than the both of us and getting those corners and trim was essential in completing the room.

 

Paint in My Eye But Also On My Wall

Yes, oh yes, I begin with the title "Paint in My Eye" because you guessed it I got paint in my eye. Only me.  So why might you ask did I have paint in my eye?  Or even better, how did I manage to get paint in my eye?  Well part of my most recent duties as a BzzAgent was review the Aura paint by Benjamin Moore.  This review couldn't have come in a better time because we are in the process of re-painting our home.  Our living room was this weird chocolate pink color that just didn't flow with the feel we wanted for the house.  In addition, it made the room appear darker especially since it already gets limited lighting.  So when the opportunity came forward for me to get some free paint and make something happen in there I jumped on it.  I will say that we had already purchased the lower level paint (HGTV) from Sherwin Williams but knew this would be an instant upgrade since the Aura paint is paint and primer all in one.
