Today Iām painting the kitchen. It’s raining and humid and at least a cool breeze comes through the kitchen windows.
As the back story, I decided to tear down all the wallpaper in the kitchen because the cat had already started to use a corner as her personal scratching post and peeling large swaths of paper from the walls. This was a huge PITA (if you don’t know what that is, email me) and took forever (as in 4 full Stanley Cup games) just to get the adhesive off. I learned new swear words at the people who invented wallpaper and adhesive. Whatever happened to the technology that allows one to pull a Post-It note off with all the adhesive still attached to the paper? Anyway…
So as not to get all messy while painting, I am sensibly wearing old shorts and tank top. However, having just had my hair beatified, I have also added to my ensemble a plastic shower cap (yes, the kind you get in a hotel room). Now my head is sweating up a storm, creating its own humidity ecosystem, which is not helping the expensive Keratin treatment make my hair shinier and smoother at all.
The painting is tedious, as expected, since I’m using a lip liner brush to get the edges around the cabinets and countertop and ceiling. I always knew those free Bobby Brown makeup kits would come in handy. I’ve had to chase down the dog twice for stealing and eating two paint can stir sticks and running through the house with the “thank God it’s still in the wrapper and not covered with paint” paint roller attachment.
After painting for 3+ hours, it’s now time for a lunch break. Is it wrong to want to do shots of Tequila while I am painting? And this is only the primer coat…
The visual you portray is classic! š
Thanks for a few laughs, it definitely brightening up my day! Good luck with getting the painting finished, staying beautiful & keeping the dog from speckling the whole house!
