I'm going to give this wall a try and hope it doesn't look like the description given on last night's Design Star about the paint applied in a remodeled kitchen which was "it looks like a rainbow threw up in there". Too funny!! I'm still laughing over that. Mine isn't really color. Months ago I bought a gallon of Ralph Lauren metallic gold paint and the roller to go with it. I finally got Riley to tape off the wall but I haven't gotten the courage to go up the ladder to the ceiling yet. To do that, I'll have to be on the 2ND rung from the TOP since the ceiling is at least 12' high. And to add insult to injury, this paint requires that you prime the wall first so that means two trips up there. Lucky for me, the walls are smooth so (a) that should make it easier to paint and (b) I dislike texture on interior walls, especially the heavy stucco look it should only be on the outside of a house. If mine comes out looking like that at all, it'll get a repaint even at the risk of breaking my neck. Here's a picture of the stage one. Sounds like a fun project to do when it's 115 degrees outside doesn't it?I almost forget...yesterday was week 2 of teaching Primary. I really thought I had served my time in there but no such luck. I've got the 6/7 year olds. So far, not too bad but I'm still new to them and along with lots of treats, so far so good. I got them each their own markers and crayons and they go in bag with their name on them so we have supplies each week. I figured I didn't want to hear them fighting over colors or broken crayons so this makes them responsible for their own things. I hate temper tantrums and whining so I hope this eliminates those issues.
