So today was going to be the day, to quote Oasis, we were finally going to paint the laundry room. We got out brushes, paint, rags and sort of a roller, the only one Mac could find was a teeny, tiny one about 4 inches long. We had 3 brand new roller covers, but nothing to hold them. Mac said we could wait until we got the right size roller holder or use the teeny, tiny one. I was not going to put it off any longer, so we dragged the dryer away from the wall and got to work. Surprisingly enough the teeny, tiny roller did the job.
Mac is in there now finishing up trim, but it's done and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
Kitty's bathroom is next, but not this week, it's supposed to be 90ª by Wednesday.

Don't you feel good when you finish a job which you have been putting off? Good for you.
ReplyDeleteOh a similar thing happened to me when I painted a book case with Annie Sloan , I paid a small fortune for the matching brush but actually, a little roller was better. I know what you mean about builder's paint, we live in a new build too. Your laundry room is looking lovely xx
ReplyDeleteWell done! I actually envy you...I've still got crumbling bare plaster walls to deal with and false ceilings to take down. Painting will be a blessed relief. Mind you, we have yet to start any of that at all...
ReplyDeleteOne more job to tick off the list. Well done.

Always satisfying to finally do a job that you've been putting off for ages. When you get down to it it's invariably nothing like as bad as you expected it to be.
ReplyDeleteI laughed about the teeny tiny roller but it did the job and now it's all done and spiffy. You're gonna just love doing laundry now, right???
ReplyDeleteReally, 90 by We'd.? I've enjoyed the last two days so much.
Job well done. Bet it feels great to have it done. While my friend from NY was here...our Sunny CA weather turned overcast...go figure. She home, and now we get the sunshine.
ReplyDeletelove the color and the pretty view!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so fresh and clean! Good job! Now come and paint mine!
ReplyDeleteWell the litle roller did its job and it all looks wonderful. Bet it feels good to have finally got the work done:)
ReplyDeleteIt's always a good feeling when you get some decorating done, especially when you've been putting it off. I leave all the decorating to Mick, though Eleanor's always happy to help out.
ReplyDeleteItlooks wonderful, so fresh and clean.
