My Feet Might Fall Off

I. am. so. tired.
The end.
Really. That’s all I have to offer today.
Because my mom and I spent about 12. 5 hours painting my living room on Saturday.
Then I slept. And then I went to church.
And after church, I spent another 5+ hours on the final coat.
And I can’t even think straight right now. (Hence the crooked photo.)
All I can do is sit here, read a bit on my Google Reader, watch Iron Chef, and admire my messy living room and beautifully painted walls.
With wine, of course.
*Once we put the furniture back and pick up the living room, I’ll take a few more photos to show you.

It looks great, Chelsea! And I guess Lauren and I can both sympathize with the tiredness today.
As soon as I can get photos of our weekend project, you’ll see why John and I aren’t happy that it’s already Monday.

I kid you not … my paneling is painted almost this exact same color. Only my dad did it for me. We aren’t home improvement people. 🙂

The living room looks great!
I didn’t hear about the Beyonce thing until this morning, but I will admit that when I heard about it on the radio I got a little teary eyed. I am not even a Taylor Swift fan…what Kanye did just wasn’t cool.

looks great. We had our paneling painted about 6 years ago and I think it really updates things tons. We paid someone to do ours and I am so glad we did. It seems like ALOT of work and I suck at painting!

And why it’s signed in as Jimbo- I’m not sure, but I clearly remember typing my stuff in- oh well, I’m sure he thinks it looks good to!

It looks splendid. “Splendid” was always my grandfather’s favorite word. “Oh that’s just splendid” meant it was good indeed.

I like it a lot! I’ll be honest, I liked the wood, but I like the painted walls even better.

My wife is so productive it’s insane!
It looks great! I too liked the wood, but it is so much brighter in here it’s ridiculously better than the wood paneling.

It looks great. You are gonna love how light and airy it feels without the wood paneling! You go! Keep up the good work!
I love the beamed ceilings, too!
