painting

Tomorrow I'm painting in the bathroom with my mother-in-law...with all 4 kids here. My bathroom is really hideous. It's pink - everywhere. The walls, ceiling and all woodwork, are painted pink, there is pink tile bath and on the walls, and the floor is pink and gray tile. When you sit in there, it's much like what you would experience if you dove into a Peptobismol bottle. We are starting with the ceilings and woodwork (including doors) to see how much difference making those things white does. I'd really like to get rid of all the pink, but removing tile is a HUGE project.

I like the idea of 'household projects', and I like the idea of changing things in my house, but we've always been kind of daunted by projects, so haven't done many. My entire house really needs painting...we've lived here for over a year now, and the walls are still dirty white, with the outlines of the pictures on the walls from the lady that lived here before us. It becomes increasingly agitating by the day as I look at them. Maybe if tomorrow goes well I'll be inspired on to bigger things...I'll let you know.
