Painting

So, I'd never actually painted before. Yet when you move into a house with a purple and orange living room, an intervention is necessary.

One day, I went out on an expedition (okay, I was watching Top Chef Season 4), and Erik and Alyshia went out and bought primer, paint, and painting supplies. The paint was supposed to be beige. It turned out to be a rather pleasant light yellow in daylight, beige at night, and really ugly at twilight. You win some, you lose some.

However, I did get the chance to learn about:

• painters tape
• newspaper
• paint not smelling *that* bad
• eggshell paint

Alyshia didn't really let me paint much since I don't know (I painted one baseboard), but on the whole, it was fun to watch the room shape up. It has really nice green curtains now too, and couches. The floor is now really clean, and it's a nice room to hang out in. I'm really hoping it becomes central to LOA house activities. Now if only we had some more business plans...
