Paint...The Final Frontier

Today is Friday. I have Fridays off so I'm heading over to the house to continue painting. Mom and Anika will be there around 2:00 to help for a couple of hours. Masha and Amy will be there around dinner time. It's not going the way I had originally planned, but it's getting done and I'm letting it go at that. Besides, how often do things go the way you originally plan?
Overall, I'm very happy with our colors and I'm very grateful for all the help we've been getting. We are really powering through and I can't thank everyone enough for their help.
I took the day off yesterday from painting and just rested. I was so tired that the idea of even stepping foot in the house was daunting. David was so wonderful and told me to take the evening off to get some rest. I feel much better now. I REALLY needed the rest. He did send me to Home Depot to get some more paint. Unfortunately, I might have to buy another gallon today. He accidentally painted the ceiling in the living room and hallway with the trim paint and now we have very glossy ceilings. :) Maybe I should give him the night off... :)

Ah yes, the white color...
Well, to conclude my previous post about us finding a white we could both agree on, we went to Home Depot ready to buy the paint we needed and meet up everyone who would be helping us that night. First, we had to pick a white that would be our trim and ceiling. We both picked a few that we liked personally, but again could not find one we could agree on. He said mine was to dirty and I thought his was to stark. We needed to find something that was soft, but not off white. We went through all the Behr colors for a half hour just trying to find something.
I wandered over to the Disney colors (yes, you know where this is going, but don't get ahead of me now) and noticed that they were Behr colors as well.
At first I thought all the colors were either too primary or childish, but when I looked through the whites I came across a few that I thought were rather nice. I showed my two favorite to David and he picked "Hums in the Sun" which also happened to be the one that I liked the best. There should have been fireworks to proclaim our joy that we found our color. I realize how silly it is to get hung up over white, but when you are involved in a project like this for a month you begin to go a little crazy.
Well, now that it's on the ceilings I love it even more. It's the perfect white. It looks clean and still is very soft.
