Our very first paint job!

During the 5 years of our marriage, John and I have only ever been renters. The general policy has always been that if you wanted to paint you could, but the walls had to be white again when you moved out. If you don't know me yet....I am incredibly lazy! Why would I take all that time and effort to pick and choose my colors, paint some walls, and then change it back! Too much effort!

Yes, we have owned our home for around 9 months now, but we hadn't painted a single thing. Our darling Ryenn is such an inspiration! By that I mean that she took a Sharpy to the kitchen wall.

While scrubbing the mark off, I realized that I was also taking the majority of the paint with it! Ahhh!

Okay, major freak out!

Okay, calm down a bit!

Okay, awesome! I have an excuse to paint!

So, John and I head to Home Depot to pick some colors for the kitchen. While we are there John shows me a Tinkerbell Room plan that he wants to use for Ryenn. (yes, we are getting side tracked) I am instantly in love! We then leave Home Depot with paint samples for her room....and some for the kitchen, too.

Needless to say, we went back to Home Depot on Saturday morning because of the 3 day weekend. We purchased all of our supplies, and recruited Travis to help. I wish I had taken before and after pictures, but our camera needed charging. (*see i am lazy)

This room took a whole lot of time, energy, and painting tape! I am totally going to relax today and enjoy my awesomeness!

P.S. We never got to the kitchen!
