Before: white. Boring. Painted in 1994 when we first moved into this house.

Evan is the genius behind the color choice. Who else would've known a chocolate brown would work so well?

Evan, showing me how to pour paint into the roller tray without getting it on the floor.

The fun begins. I'm enough of a klutz that I never would've painted anything if Evan hadn't shown me how. :)

"I think I just smooshed a fly into the wall..."

details, details

(in mid-blink)

Painting at 11pm with loud music to spite the neighbours who annoy me with shrill Pekanese dogs at all hours.

Now the entire world can see what a mess my closet is. It used to be worse...

I always wanted to get rid of those ugly pink pillowcases. Mom, what were you thinking?

The morning after, weary, exhausted me starts to put things back together.

My shelf and bedcover don't really match with the wall, but it all goes together. I think.
