Lost Paint

So I am sitting here waiting on paint samples to dry.....I finally got my husband to stop working on his 4-wheeler and help me take the 7foot long mirror hanging in my craft room off the wall. It only took almost 10 months to convince him to help. Who hangs a mirror that big in a small bedroom anyways? And hangs it crooked? Now it is sitting in my dining room, I hope it doesn't stay very long.....

Anyways when I got kicked out of the garage because my husband is collecting so many garage tools my saved paint can lids disappeared. Not good, so I have a bunch of sample jars trying to remember what color it was I painted my craft room. While waiting I am doing some internet window shopping.

I am thinking about this rug in three sizes for my dining room, den off of that room, and front door. Not super exciting but they should help keep the floor cleaner from the dogs and since all three areas are open to each other I think this is the best choice as I have pretty wild/vibrant colors everywhere.

We are getting a shed for the backyard with our tax refund, 3 rugs and the rest is paying off my medical bills. Nothing very fun but usually we put the little we get in savings so I am excited that we are getting some things we need/want this year. Now I am just waiting for our tax refund to show up so I can do some real shopping. :)

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend and not watching paint dry!

Color!

This is a sample photo of the boarder around my craft room. See that nice mirror? Its about 6ft long and not hung level. Everytime I hang something level I notice it more and its driving me NUTS! The boarder around the ceiling that is also hung level wasn't helping.
So I armed myself with my spray bottle and plastic scraper and got to work on one of the problems. Of course I had to paint after that as they painted around the border.

So far I only have the closet and one small wall painted as this room has more stuff in it than the rest of the house combined. It took three coats :( but I am loving having some color in my work space. See how nicely organized the closet is now!
It looks more pink in this photo than it really is. I'm really glad I didn't chicken out because I really like it so far. Now I just need to get some strong friends help me take the huge mirror off the wall....Colin want's no part in my mess. Hopefully I can get one more wall done by the end of this weekend. :)
