Joe and I literally painted all day. We spent 8 hours painting, and finally finished the bathroom and hallway. We had to put two coats of paint on and mind you, it was not easy work. I stood on the ladder most of the day, but sometimes bent over and did the skirtboards, which is very precise, tiring work. We will continue tomorrow with the storage area, and that will be it till we get more paint. The bathroom is a lovely pale pink and the skirtboards are a darker pink, and yes, even the door is pink. With the shower curtain and window curtains having a lovely pink pattern, in addition to a pink rug , toilet seat cover, and towels, it is lovely. The hallway is a a beautiful light blue colour, and the skirtboards are a darker blue...We have painted the door to the storage area the darker blue, and the storage area will match the hallway. Well, tomorrow is another day of painting, but I hope that it won't take as long. The two pics of us painting are the ones that I love the most...We are very stylishly dressed, aren't we? May I also add that every bone in our bodies are hurting.LOL

What cute painters!!;-)
Love the blue!!
Painting is hard work and can wear you out going up and down the ladder for sure. Will be worth it when all fresh and done though!!
I love to repaint a room ..can be all the change you need.
Painting can be such backbreaking work. It is so worth it though, to have everything so new and fresh! The apron and hat go particularly well together. So fashionable!
Ya'll are super cute. Imagine me saying that in my NC southern accent. Ya'll
You've been very hard workers. How did you get your DH to wear the apron? That goes way and above the call of duty!
How cool both of you in painter's outfits. I am glad you got Joe on this blog Micki. I can have a closer look at him this way. I like the blue in the hall way
Hi Micki
I can see you like the colour so much that you are wearing it lol
Painting is a back aching job bet you be pleased when it all done
Hugs Janice

You can do my place when you are finished! Nothing freshens up a place like a coat of paint. Ann :)
I can't believe all the fantastic things you've been making while I was "locked out" of visiting by all our computer woes. You have been very busy!
The tablecloth is just so cute and cheery...the lace is absolutely incredible...the Sunbonnet Sue mini is adorable (She is a favorite!) and now you're painting! Wow!
I've just posted my 100th post! Can't believe it! and I'm having a mini quilt/pillow give-away! :)
You have been very busy with painting. How nice to have gotten so much done! Hope the pain is gone by now (O;
