Exciting times! You will need to post a photo of the room when it is finished. What colour paint did you choose?

It took 3 of us with 3 carts. I'm exhausted and I didn't lift anything heavier than a cabinet door. Thank goodness I had a guy with muscles. Ugh now to lug 16 boxes into the house.

Update yikes almost everything out of the room. Nowhere to walk around the house. Geez I never knew I had so much stuff in that room. 2 desks getting painted white. The Painting begins tomorrow. The handyman is going to put together all the furniture. This looks like it's going to take a whole week to get this done.

And having someone else assemble all that stuff is a HUGE plus! I'm pretty good at deciphering those goofy pictorial instructions, but the assembly of that stuff gives a lot of people fits. Take lots photos of the process before / during / after, it makes a fun scrapbook layout!

I just empty out two desks drawers full of stuff. I have to walk sideways and suck in my gut just to get by it in my spare room. I have work stuff in there too.

The room is half painted. I'm not too sure if I like it now. Its so bright. I'm wondering if it will tone down a bit when I get all my white furniture in the room. I might be going back to the paint store to get a lighter shade. I'm torn.

I might be going back to the paint store to get a lighter shade. I'm torn. Choosing paint colors is always my biggest stressor. I've learned not to assess the color until the painting project is completed; otherwise, your perception is influenced by the previous color (ie wet paint of any color will look brighter than existing paint; shades of blue will visually appear much cooler, even if several shades lighter, when next to an existing warm color). I hope you end up loving the crisp, clean color you've chosen!

Ok when looking at the paint again I like the color and will keep it. I think it will look nice when it's all done and the room is put back together. It should be finished by next Saturday if all goes well. Cross your fingers. I'll have to work on arranging the stuff. That going to take awhile. Probably several days. I don't have a stamp and die system. The dies are all in a box thrown in Willy nilly. I'll be purging as I put stuff back in.
