Good morning all!
Last Monday I told ya that I had started panting the library and shelves for the library-well it took ALL WEEK. Seriously. I. painted. every. day. last. week. I am exhausted. There are so many things that I WANT to do now but just can’t find the energy for. Edward was in California Sunday to Sunday so I was here with the 4 kids on my own, doing everything around the house by myself plus the painting. Luckily I reinstated kitchen duty for the girls a couple of weeks ago so the kitchen kinda got cleaned every day. So anyway…here is a sneak peek of the library. We are not nearly finished yet.
The wall color is Summer Harvest by Benjamin Moore mixed at Benjamin Moore. I took the chip to Lowe’s and they tried to match it 4 times but never got it right and when I asked if I should just go to Ben Moore she said “probably”. lol So much for being able to color match anything. I actually ended up liking the Ben Moore paint a lot better than the Valspar. Every time we paint the walls after a few days we get white spots where it looks like the paint shurnk or something but not this time. I keep going in and checking and nothing! I am so excited not to have to go back and touch up. 
We have had that problem with Valspar and Behr paints so we thought it was just us but apparently it isn’t. Oh and I got the wall color from Sandra at Sawdust and Paperscraps. It’s what she used in her kitchen and I REALLY love it. I am planning to use it in the kitchen and the family room as well. I tried 7 yellows and this was by far my favorite.
So, I spent my week painting. I feel like I was run over by a train but this week I have to start painting the trim in the entry. I have to say that painting is not my favorite activity right now.
I did manage a break to take the boys to the park on Thursday because the weather was so nice. Jessica went with us as well.
At least the weather is improving and we can get out and play!
I hope everyone has a great week!
