Upstairs Hallway: Part 1

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!!!  I did.  Grumpy had to work and Cheetah Boy was with his bio-dad's this year, so Little Miss, Doggie and I went out to my parent's house.  I wanted out of the city and all the crazy loud fireworks that would freak out the babies.   

I have a new project!!!! 

 

The boring upstairs hallway.  This is our family picture wall as well.  It should defiantly be pretty, not ugly and boring!  So here is my plan.  I have another gallon of that pretty blue I had painted the downstairs hallway.  (I thought it would take two gallons, but it only took one.)  However, I don't really want it the same color.  And I have some samples of white and greens from painting the living room, so I was thinking I would mix that all together and it would be a lighter blue-green.

Let's find out shall we?

 

So, I don't really know if this is a smart, allowable thing to do... like I am a little worried it is going to blow up or something, or let off some crazy poisonous fumes....  These are the thoughts that go through my mind.

 

Ok, here goes!

 

It looks pretty like that!  All swirling and marble-ly. 

 

Mix, mix, mix. 

 

I think I like how it turned out.  I guess I need to just paint the walls and find out!  If I hate it, I can always re-paint I guess. 

 

 

Mmmm, I think I like it.

 

I was able to do most of the upstairs part in one "naptime".  I say "naptime" because I set Little Miss down for her nap, but she just played in her crib for like an hour and a half.  I think that means she is going to stop taking naps soon.  Noooooo.  But if she can at least take "quiet times" in her crib like that I guess it would be ok....

 

As, usual I was a little worried about what Grumpy would think.  And I like to play this game called don't-say-anything-and-see-how-long-it-takes-Grumpy-to-notice.  It took him several hours after arriving home from work, it is in the upstairs so I guess he didn't see it at first.  Want to know what he said?

 

"Hey, did you paint this?"

 

"Yes."

 

"What color was it before?"  Um, Grumpy do you live here?  Silly boy.

 

So there you have it, the beginning of the upstairs hallway!  I am a little worried that I didn't get it all done in one painting session because I mixed the paint myself, and I want it all to be the same color.  But I did use a bucket with a lid so hopefully the paint will stay good until I am able to finish it.

 

Kisses~
