Cleaning and organizing now aside, we have started the painting process. Normally, this would just include the walls of a room, but not if you are a part of my little family. I’m a DIYer and everyone else has no choice but to go along with it. (They hardly ever complain. *wink*) So of course, after we figured out what we wanted to do with Pinky’s room, I got to work figuring out where we would get the goods from. And I didn’t let things like the wrong hue hold me back. <\/p>\n

Then we ran into a problem. One that could have probably been easily avoided had I not tried to work with what I had.

to pick up some spray paint which will hopefully work better for more even coverage. We will test that out tomorrow. If not, I’m sure I will learn one of these days how to correctly do this stuff. In the mean time, have a happy Easter weekend, don’t eat too many sweets and stay tuned for more of Pinky’s Drab to Fab bedroom makeover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
