A few week ago..

A few weeks ago I was going to paint the den. But I couldn't do that to my husband. We had just painted the bathroom and the craft room the previous weekend and he looked very tired. So I put off painting.

I have a few deadlines coming up.
Spring, I want and need to get out and dig and plant!
The girls birthday party, which I am going to have in May this year.
And finally my in-laws and my dad will be here end of June and most of July.
So I am about to enter panic mode.
Since I knew my surgery was coming up, I did need to get the den done. We have a lot of heavy furniture in here and I didn't know how long it would take me to feel like moving stuff and time is running out!

As you can see, my children didn't believe that we were painting the den, even though I was taking stuff out of there!

My husband has to love me very much to let me take a pictures of him while he is doing something he really doesn't want to do.

The wall paper was very ugly!
Yes, we did paint over the wallpaper. We think the wallpaper is what is holding the walls up!

He is such a good husband! We won't mention him tripping over the can of paint and spilling it on the carpet and having to use Spot Shot, Oops, Goof Off and a carpet shampooer to get the paint out! We won't mentions that.

The next project in here is to look for fabric for new curtains!

I can see my paintings on the walls now instead of just wall paper!

Humphrey had to get paint on his ear. Every time we paint, he always gets paint on him somewhere!
