My house was gorgeous when we bought it and I considered doing that Christmassy tour of homes at that time, but since then we've cluttered it up a bit and turned it into a nice fixer upper. So that's out now.
Julie is an interior designer and her husband is an expert hobby woodworker with his own wood shop behind their garage. Every last square inch of her house is detailed and perfect. Colors are slick. She has put tons of thought into every single iota of that house. Currently she's painting a huge tree on her daughters bedroom wall and will put big flowers on it. Her daughter was very proud to show it off to me last night.Well anyway, she asked me over last night to help her paint their master bathroom. She had a stripe taped up one wall and handed me a roller with a tray of paint. I painted that stripe, then over one wall and down another. Skipped a wall and painted just behind the toilet. It's beautiful! While we worked, her husband came in to scrub up the shower.
"Val, you don't mind if hubs takes a bath while we work, do you?"
"Um no... I'll keep my back turned..."
She's kind of zany that way. Oh and he didn't take a bath, but rather turned a few shades of red darker and eventually left the room.
I was going to bring a camera for the before and after bathroom, but forgot it at home. Sorry... Just suffice it to say that it's very pretty and beige is a very understated but beautiful color.
Oh and I didn't drip paint once! well... except for accidentally hitting the toilet with the roller. But it cleaned up quickly.
Heading to my hubs company Christmas party tonight! Looking forward to a night out with good friends and good food. I'll take pictures... maybe.
Have a wonderful weekend!

YOU are a GOOD friend to help paint. ☺ It's always much more fun to paint with a friend anyway. Please go back and take tour photos. Happy Friday! ☺
Oh booger, I wanted to see the wall!!!
Your friend sounds like quite the kidder!
Have a blast and a half at your Hubs party tonight!
God bless and have a wonderful weekend sweetie!!!
You are amazing. With as much as you do, you deserve to be super thin. Well, that is what I tell everyone about me. I need a friend that is good with color. My house is a mess anymore.
Our bathroom needs a coat or two of paint - how quick can you get here?

Your subject line is so clever that I had to give you props! You are a good friend. I've only helped one friend paint--but she's my neighbor and she helped me in return.
Did you have a fun time at the party?
Nobody ever asks me to help them paint.
It never goes well.
I just knew you were going to say that you spilled the paint. Good job for not even spilling a drop. You are so nice to help your friend like that.
Have fun!
