Happy Wife = Paint the doors

I got my doors painted.

Branmuffin caved.

True story is...we went to the paint store that day.

Bought the paint, he taped and prepped.

I painted.

Prepping and taping is harder.

This ended up not being about a few doors I wanted to paint.

After the first coat on each of the 3 doors, 

I wanted to go up to my room and go to bed.

I hated it and had that sick feeling of "what did I do?".

What I thought would be done in one night 

ended up taking a couple of nights and

a few trips to the paint store.

I learned this:

Be patient in your projects.

Look at it from different perspectives and light.

My husband loves me.

I know what colors I like, not the guy at the paint store.

See that Pepto Bismol door in my entry?!

Yeah, that's what the paint guy talked me into.

Whatevs.

Four coats on three doors later, I am done.

And I am happy.

I went back and got "Peony".

The green is called "Sweetness".

{The fish was painted by my Mom, it ended up being the inspiration.}

And here's all three doors in one shot.

I'm not a professional photographer and

it's so hard to shoot that mudroom because 

there is NO natural light...but this gives the idea.

Most importantly....

Husbands are happy when wives are happy!

If you look close, you'll 

find I hung my "Happy Wife, Happy Life" 

sign above one of the green doors...

Just as a gentle reminder to all!

Toodles....
