Now seriously is it just my husband or are most of them like this? When we bought this place almost a year ago there was one room that was really rather sketchy. I'm sure the teenagers that lived here previously had something to do with it but it was pretty bad. I liked the colour at first because it didn't throw a lot of glare when you were trying to check out pictures but it just smelled dusty and dirty. I tried to wash the walls but everything just smeared around and the paint marked with every stroke. So I knew that I would paint it but just wasn't sure when I'd get around to it.
Now this is a room on the bottom floor and I figured from day one that I would just use it as my craft room and the kitty litter box room but we seem to have someone staying in it every once in a while so I really thought I should get it done sooner than later.
These photos are from when we were looking at the house. Anywho 2 weeks ago I painted it and it is one big room. Took me 3 days. After the first day I was surprised when Jim came home from work that he didn't smell the paint but he had a cold and all was well. Then I thought well this is good, I'll be able to get it all painted and set up before he notices and then he will be in for a nice surprise.Now there is no reason for Jim to ever go into this room unless he is looking after the cats and has to clean the litter boxes so I figured I was safe. But no. That Sunday I came in to find him showing the room to a friend, Roy Juthans.
I was waiting for the "Sue, the room looks amazing, thank you..." but nothing.
I knew I was going to Victoria for 4 days and that he would have to check the litter boxes so I asked a few friends to see if he said anything but again nothing.
He even showed the house to Bill Toews and still said nothing...needless to say I was starting to feel just a tad bad about the whole thing.

I think it looks the same.
Does Dad read YOUR blog? I think it would be great if he learned of the paint job on the internet.
