So excited...

Forever ago, I fixed some spots on my interior walls, textured, and primed and pulled out my bucket of touch-up paint to finish the job. As it turns out, the bottom of the can had a crack and the bucket has been leaking dye and thinner in my laundry room cabinet. This was around Thanksgiving. So I kind of let the project slide because I didn't know where to get more paint (the house was painted when I moved in) and it was Christmas time.

So in a fit of ambition, I finally called the design store where we picked out the paint for the walls when our house was being built. She said they only use Kwal or Sherwin-Williams paint. So I called the Kwal store first. Luckily, I knew the paint color name from the lid of the leaky paint can. The guy said it was their color and I could pick up the mixed paint in an hour.

So instead of this...

this...

FINALLY, I'm going to have walls that look like any other walls, hopefully. I'm always a little nervous about paint being mixed later and having it match exactly.

Jack update: Merril promised Jack that if he peed in the toilet 3 times, he would buy him a Gordon train from Thomas the tank engine. Jack completed his mission this afternoon and is playing with Gordon now.
