Grace's new walls

Grace has been asking to paint her room for almost a year. Of course, as you know, we should have painted the moment we moved here to get maximum enjoyment from our colored walls. When we move out of base housing, we have to paint it back. Thus, Grace has never had a painted room. I can see myself painting the first time, but I never could picture myself re-painting in the middle of a PCS move~ Those last few weeks before we move are always so hectic that the thought of adding painting to the "To-Do" list was always something I thought would push me over the edge.

But, the kids are growing up! They really are more of a help at home than they have ever been and it seems like our moves are getting smoother- practice makes perfect right?

So we compromised. Over Fall break we painted two walls in Gracie's room. She picked the color at Home Depot by using the color match machine and the pillow sham from her bedspread set. We did some furniture moving and some taping first thing in the morning, and with Brock's help, we had the walls done in about an hour and a half.

Grace is thrilled and I was happy to be reminded that painting isn't as difficult as I had remembered! Her room looks great :)

Remind me to come back and read this post when we are PCSing next summer and I am losing it!

Much love,
