But, when I chose the paint color for the bathroom, we were working with a vanity light only. And suddenly, with all of this glorious light overhead the paint color suddenly looked a lot different than it did and even more different than I imagined the end product to be.  Mix that with the cedar planks, painted or not, and things were looking country or coastal–not sure which–but not us.  That much I know. So, what’s a girl to do?  Paint the planks, yes–and cabinetry.  And then we threw in the ceiling and walls again, too.  When I was getting my art degree, I remember my professor always saying, “If you aren’t happy with it, you’re not done yet.”  I’m not a perfectionist. I’m not. But if I don’t feel proud of something or happy with it, I can’t stop. I’d rather keep painting (or working, etc) until I get there.  And, hallelujah, we got there late last night.

Have a happy weekend.  Our costume party is tomorrow and we can’t wait.  What are you up to?

Ps. We announced the winner of the Wusthof giveaway here.
