The Office Wall Make Over - Part 3

OK, so...Grrrrrrrr Arrrrrrrrggggg!

I'm not a 'professional' painter by any means (if you can't already tell)

But I do like to paint and when I have an issue, it just ticks me off.

My son says..."lady, calm," Love my kid!

So if you've seen the other office wall makeover pics, you'll see that I used the blue painters tape to make sure everything was straight and even to prevent this...

(as I model the two pictures above with a wave of my hand) the 'feathering' or 'bleeding' of paint. 

Pee'd me off  --  like, BIG TIME!

I'm like, I followed all the rules, had the painters tape, make sure it was secure and it still DOES NOT work.

Of course I do have textured walls *Sigh* some days, I just feel like I can't win.

So I went out and bought some small brushes and my son is going to help me even out the bleeding. 

My husband says, I'm being to picky and looking at it to hard, it looks fine. (I think he stepped back when I shot him 'the' look LOL)

I'm like, it's not the way I want it and I'm the one who is in my office, so it's going to get straightened out. Grrrr. 

So I guess we'll see how much of a steady hand my a son and I have and how much I can muck it up Hehehehehe.

Office Wall Maker Over - Part 2

OK, so the painting has begun

I'm not sure if I should be scared or excited. LOL

I love painting and am so glad my son was helping me. When I paint I seem to make a mess. I must have a damp cloth with me to erase any mistakes. 

It seems, that, no. I can't stay within the lines...

LOL 

I did the cutting in and he filled in the middle, with a brush mind you, he didn't want to use the roller .

So now we sit and wait for it to dry.

*Sigh* really *rolling eyes* this is like watching water boil.

Until Next week ...

Office Wall Makeover - Part 1

   

The wall makeover has begun! And as you can see my little helper is rearing to go :-) He's sitting at my back as I write. Love my little red!!

So this is the wall in my office I've decided to add a little flare and make the office my own. These off white walls do nothing for my artistic or creative side. 

The function of the wall when complete is to be my plot board.

Where I can write my plot down (to get it out of my head) :-), Characters, Worlds and what ever else my story needs. 

My husband is going to be helping me by making me a black white board. That's right, it's a white board but black, I can write on it with neon erasable markers. *Squeal* 

 He liked the idea of a chalk board, but that's not me, I like white boards, and when I found the black white board on Amazon, he looked it up and said ... 'I can make that.' WELL OK :-) 

go for it hubs :-)

So this is where we are... my son helped with most of the painting :-) great kiddo I have!!

The soothing color I chose is 'Ash Violet' by Sherwin Williams.  

... Until next week ...  :-)
