Tales of Li'l Foot

Today we painted our bedroom.  We bought a ton of paint a month and a half ago.  One color to paint both bathrooms (a pale lime/yello green), one color to do our living room, halls, stairwell and kitchen in, and another color to do our bedroom.  We painted our bathrooms before we left for vacation.  Here, I’ll show you…

That is only one of the bathrooms we painted.  I walked into the other bathroom to take it’s picture and it got embarassed and pulled the shower curtain to hide from the camera. (We might’ve used that bathroom as a drop zone for some of the stuff that we took out of our room and still haven’t settled everything back into our room.

Let me tell you, painting with a toddler to keep entertained is HARD!  She did relatively well, however the cable company decided last night and today would be a splendid time to have a service outage in our area so while we have a TiVo and a TV in our bedroom, the only things on the TiVo she could’ve watched to stay occupied were 11 episodes of Guiding Light.  And, well, that show is AWFUL these days…I can’t even stand the thought of them living on my TiVo taking up space…let alone make LF watch them.  Which by the way would only have occupied her attention for negative .2 seconds!  So we had other “things” to keep her occupied…books, stuffed animals, rattles, you name it, we tried to occupy her with it.

So anyway, the cable outage…WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT TO ME ON A SUNDAY.  I don’t care for TV much these days, I think it’s just more noise that I don’t need in my life, but SUNDAY..SUNDAY I want to watch TV because I want to watch my “boys” and their tushies running into the end zone!!!  This was so not the day to have a cable outage!  Oh well, it was kind of nice to just listen to the iPod actually!

So here’s how our rom came out.  By the time I thought to take BEFORE pictures…half the room was already painted, so oh well.  And so you’ll just have to imagine the walls were an off white, the same as the ceiling actually.

Oh…that huge canister on top of the armoire in the far left corner…that is FULL of LFD’s hats!!!  The man has ONE HEAD (uhhhhhh…), why does he need so many hats?  I will never udnerstand!

And here’s the other side of the room…

As you can see, our bed takes up the entire room!  Argh!!!  Oh, and I usually do have a dust ruffle, but the one I had on there this morning had seen better days, so I need to replace it.  Oh, you didn’t NOTICE our bed didn’t have a dust ruffle and you could care less if I had one on our bed or not and I’m being ridiculous for even being self conscious about being judged for not having one on there in the first place?  Oh, ok!  Well then, never mind!!!

So there you have it.  Our room…the color is Behr paint and is called “wave crest”!!!  It’s a very very light shade of blue.

P.S. If anyone wants to buy our bed frame…have at it…we want to get a different one that isn’t as ginormous in our room.

P.P.S.  Stay tuned…LFD took off this entire week to paint the rest of the house a color called “pecan sandies”.  There’s just no way we would ever get to paint the rest of the house with a toddler running around, so he had to take off work.
