Painting. Sucks.

So, the husband and I have taken on the gigantic task of painting the wood molding throughout our house white. And by "husband and I," I mean "husband". Whose dumb idea was this? Since he's the one doing most of the work, you can bet it wasn't him. However, he has realized the decorating genius I am and has agreed the white molding looks 1,000 times better.

Because he has been painting every day for at least a week straight, I thought I'd be a good wife and help ease some of the burden. So, while he has been out golfing today, I painted the molding in the dining room (easily the smallest room in our house - I'm no dummy).

I started out very careful. Both the living room and dining room are the same green color. We have been considering painting the dining room a deep wine color. (After I got some white primer on the green wall, that decision was easily made for us.) Now that I knew I could get paint on the walls, I painted with reckless abandon. By the time I got to the crown molding on top, it was more slathering than painting.

And I think I painted the windows shut.

And honey? Sorry about the paint on the carpeting. Looks like we'll be replacing that, too.

This will, most likely, be my one and only attempt at painting the house.

(oh, and does anyone know how to get paint off the fabric of my dining room chairs?)
