Slap It On

I bought four and a half gallons of paint today. I also bought a lot of crap that goes along with those four gallons of paint. I wish I could say that I am super excited about getting up on the ladder and trying reach the top of the zillion foot high wall while not to paint the vaulted ceiling Parisian Taupe. It would be a bitch to have to repaint the whole ceiling. Yeah, fun.

I am normally very into the whole idea, but it is four and a half gallons. Four. And a half. I get tired just thinking about it.

The joy of painting a room white is that you don't really have to tape everything off. You just kinda throw down a drop cloth and go nuts. With colors like Deep Garnet you kinda have to watch where you are slapping this stuff. Granted your walls look like something out of Better Homes and Gardens when you are done. What is important is that the dining room walls are perfectly matched to the placemats and the floral accents in the upholstered chairs, right? Someone please tell my husband that when he realizes that he actually agreed to repaint three whole rooms of our apartment.

This will be the fourth color on our bedroom walls in a year and a half. I hope there isn't some sort of bad karma for redecorating as much as I do.
