While our house is on the market until the end of this month, I am not convinced we are truly going to sell at this point, so I have decided to go ahead and start some projects. For the past 7 months I--the project queen--have been in complete limbo waiting to find out if we are going to be moving or not. Of course I do not have a crystal ball, but I just kept saying to myself, why put anymore effort into this home if I won't be living here. What a horrible attitude. In the event we do end up selling this home, wouldn't it be nice to leave the new home owners with a fresh coat of paint here or there? I am sure they would appreciate it. So, I woke up yesterday and adjusted my poor attitude! I decided to pull out my trusty old paintbrushes and my paint bucket (of course I didn't go and buy any new paint---yet!!!) and I proceeded to start a project--FINALLY!!
I am sure you are dying to know what I decided to paint first! Well, don't get too excited. Many people won't even notice, because after 9 years, I decided it was time to freshen up the trim and doors in this well loved home! This time, I am definitely going with a semi-gloss. While the satin is washable, the ground in dirt from the many children (and adults!) that pass through the doorways simply doesn't wash off very well. So, while the thrill of redoing a room still taps at my heart, I will just have to wait a little bit longer.
In the meantime, my crafty do-it-yourselfer mentality can be somewhat satisfied knowing that my OCD cleaner mentality will be happy today!
