Happy New Year! Did anyone do anything fun for New Year’s Eve? Anyone have too much fun? It’s okay, you can tell me. It’ll be our little secret – the other 60 people who follow this blog won’t know a thing!
We had an awesome NYE with friends and I was actually productive in the days that followed! 2015 is my year, people.
So what kind of progress did I make? Well, almost all of the painting is done, I just have one small area left where I removed the closet doors and sliding door track. I still have a ways to go but I wanted to share a progress photo for those of you who don’t follow me on instagram (@jmens6).
And in case you think this project has been completely flawless, feast your eyes on this.
Yeah, I don’t think Mr. Benjamin Moore meant for his Hale Navy paint (color matched at Home Depot, by the way) to be used on carpet. Just call me butterfingers. You can also call me “Girl who must now buy a rug to cover a giant paint stain in the middle of her craft room.”
Still to do:
Patch/paint closet trim from where doors were removed
Add storage
Window treatment
Hang art
Organize files and supplies
Buy rug
Happy New Year! 2015 is my year too! 😉
I think it’s going to be a great year 🙂
I literally gasped when i saw the paint spill. Did you knock the can over or drop the roller? That totally sucks but yay for an excuse to buy a new rug! I love the hale navy with the white trim 🙂
Oh man, you should have heard the noises I made when it happened! I picked up the paint can to pour more paint into the tray and my hand spasmed and I totally dropped the can and paint sloshed out. It went onto the makeshift drop cloth and then out onto the carpet 🙁 You can see where I folded the drop cloth back on itself which was my attempt to keep more paint from running onto the carpet.
Thank you 🙂 I swear I’m going to end up putting Hale Navy all over the house. I’m obsessed with it!
