Staycation Projects Update

[kybearfuzz]

It was a busy weekend. On Friday night, I decided that my next project would be the repainting of my spare bedroom. aceofspace was supposed to come up, but he wasn't feeling well so he postponed his drive back home a couple of days, so I thought I'd hurry and get it done. The first trick was taking down the wallpaper border the previous owner left up. That took an grueling five hours. Wallpaper is evil, from the devil himself. I swear she put that $#!+ up with crazy glue.

After a short night's sleep, I visited Home Depot for some Behr paint (naturally) and picked out a color called "Gold Buff." I wanted something warm and bright. It turned out a lot bolder than I thought but it's growing on me. What surprises me how it seems to change color so drastically in different light.



Various Views and Light
After a scrubbing shower to remove the paint from me, I went to see Inception and then met the Cincinnati Movie Bears for dinner. The movie was fantastic! Very intricate and interesting, but still understandable. I loved the special effects. I'm still not a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, not that he's not a great actor, but Ellen Page is definitely up-and-coming.

Post weekend was hanging with aceofspace for an evening, followed by being lazy for a day...

Mark, I love that color... We are looking at painting our living room with a similar color. It looks awesome.

Wanna come paint?

Just kidding!

Just be warned, the color is even bolder than it appears in the photo. And my shoulder still aches a bit from all that painting :)

I'm hearing good thing after good thing about Inception, I think I need to drag Bob out to see it. I like that you said it's easy to follow tho, intricate things often confuse him LOL

The first part of the movie is a bit confusing, but they go back and explain it. I think he'd enjoy it.

Agreed! Wallpaper is evil. If you completed the whole job in 5 hours, that's actually quite quick from my experience as of late.

Thanks for the recommendation about Inception. It's one of the few movies I've wanted to see this summer.

Hey there! Long time no see...

While it may sound sexist, I think wallpaper tends to fall in the decorative realm of women more than men. I would MUCH rather paint a room than put up or take down one single border. Because when you put it up, someday you'll have to take it down and it simply is never worth it.

I think you'll enjoy Inception...it's getting good reviews.
