Ladies and gentlemen, she’s painted! The misguided slate grey in the office is no longer. It’s now a refreshing, simple, blank canvas of delicious white.

It took one coat of primer and two coats of paint, but we made it. And, thankfully, I had the assistance of two of my favorite helpers, my niece and nephew. They did a bang-up job painting the trim. Thanks, guys! (I know the back of the closet looks splotchy, but we ran out of paint and it will be covered with clothes, anyway. Whataya gonna do?)

The office is officially on its way to non-hive inducing. What a difference a day makes!
