Painting My Bedroom

So it's been almost 18 years since I've painted my bedroom and this is why...

Kevin built this massive water bed when he was in high school. I absolutely love it, but it weighs ALOT! Needless to say it hasn't been moved since we moved in.

I really don't mind painting, it's the prep work that I don't enjoy. I must say, it's very satisfying to finish a big project like this. I do seem to need more ibuprofen than I did in my younger years.

I've loved purple since I was a little girl. I remember as a teenager having a pair of Nikes with a purple swish this exact color. I really don't appreciate homosexuals claiming it as their color because I guarantee I'm not homosexual, but I do love the color purple. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but I'm looking forward to having a couple of purple walls in my bedroom. Fortunately Kevin also likes purple (definitely not homosexual). Mostly he likes not being the one to do the painting.

Cute RaeAnn! I know you love purple! I think of you when ever I buy anything purple. I've been getting the itch to paint a room in my house too...but I hate the prep work so much that I don't think it will happen any time soon.

I love all of your reassurances that you nor kevin are homosexual. you are so funny, RaeAnn. I already miss you. I can't wait to own my own place so that I can finally do fun projects like this (even if its tedious and gives you a major back-ache!).

You claimed purple way before anyone else. Your room looks great.

ReAnn, your post totally made me smile. You look like an expert painter. Way to go.

Lindy said...

You go girl! Love the color. Cant wait to see it in person. Painting is a very satisfying experience. Especially when it is done. You know what.....I had Nike's too. Can't wait to see that movie.
Love you,

Hey RaeAnn do you know when the Barney Family reunion is going to be. I'd like to get it on my calendar soon so I make sure I get off work for it this year. Is it still going ot be at the park near your house? If you could just add a comment to my blog and let us know. Thanks!

I didn't know he built that! I love that bed! And I know lots of people who like purple and they definitly aren't homosexual :)

I remember your purple Nikes, of course. Your fam is the purple family. Such a good color on you guys. Sherri's the painter at our house.

Rae, you need to get on Facebook. I'm friends with a bunch of people from Hemet that keep asking about you.

I love that in the summer we get to do all of the home projects we don't have time for in the school year. I am going to post our latest project soon. So check it out. I love it and I am so glad that it is done!

Love the color! We're doing some remodeling too! I don't know why we think we have to cram a years worth of remodeling into just a few week sin the summer...so much for the "summer off"

Lindy said...

Thanks for the info on the family reunion. I knew Ria knew about it, but wasn't sure when she was going to get around to telling everyone. We will be there and we posted the info on our family website too. Thanks:)

Love it! Thats a great color! Just the thought of you painting makes me tired! Maybe its because if I were to paint, all I would picture is Gabe getting into the paint and painting my walls for me! Not fun!

Thanks RaeAnn! You bedroom looks great btw. Kim sent me pictures a few days ago...he is so big (and looks a lot like C did!) I am kind of jealous that you and Mandy get to work together. You are going to be such a great team. I miss you guys a lot. Those kids are so lucky to have two awesome teachers! I am just curious how Jana (K) is doing these days since Mandy will be taking her job. So, if you have a min. email me!
