Awwwww..... My entire body is breaking apart and I think I should stop watching HGTV (Home & Garden Television) for inspiration ( I discovered that majority of the Americans have color walls in their house) and getting myself into trouble !
For the longest time, I was happy with having white walls all over the entire house. Paul was relief that I am sticking to white despite Sommer have been encouraging me to add some colors into our wall and even my neighbour who have been telling me it's a breeze to paint and it only took her 1 day to paint her living room. She's a LIARRRRR !!!!
I've been spending the last 2 1/2 days (since Sunday evening) painting partial of the living room and 1 wall in my bathroom (since we have so much extra paint left). And my entire body is breaking apart. It may seems easy just thinking that it's partial of the living room and 1 wall in the bathroom but man, it's back breaking !
The idiotic thing is, I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and I want everything to be perfect. I've spent the entire of yesterday painting the living room and bathroom and today touching up the smudged areas. Like a curse, despite using the painting tape to help me with the alignment but since the surface of our walls are uneven it's a giantic challenge to accomplish a straight clean line that seperate the 2 colors and it's driving me BONKERS !!!!
The annoying part is Paul kept telling me "It's okay, no one will stand infront of the wall and inspect it." But with my OCD kicking in, I have this idea in my head that everyone will come into my house with a magnifying glass rating my work.
Yes, my back is breaking, my neck is aching and my right arm appears to be dislocated and the house is in a mess. But I love the color I got on.
Thank God it was love at first sight for Paul with the Green walls as well (afterall, his favourite color is Green). Initially I thought he was patronising me since he was very happy with the white walls as he hated painting more than anything else. With my assurance that I'll be the one painting and he merely need to give me his opinion with the colors, he happily drove me to the paint store. Gosh did I hate myself for assuring him that I'll be doing all the painting !
Now that crazy bunny love the color so much, he's trying to brainwash me to paint 1 of the wall in our bedroom the same color as the living room as well....
Lying flat out on the floor, I told him I need at least 1 day break and be away from the paint brush, the rollers and all the manual work. I've realised that my brain works better than my body. I'm so relief that I've picked the "right" color, it really goes well with the dark brown couch we got.
As soon as I re-arrange the furniture, I'll definately take a pic and post it.
Thus if some of you folks have not been able to talk to me online or receive my emails, that's because I'm busy painting and busy catching my breath !

lucky i'm not like both of u. (OCD) or else i'll be suffering also. haha....
Sisters, at this point I have the "the hell with it" attitute.
Mr Critic (Paul) commented the paint in the bathroom looks patchy. But I thought it's the lighting that causes the shadow and the difference in the color. However, my OCD is kicking in so it's back to 3rd coat of paint on it today.
If I am Miss Yap, I would say "Screw it". Hell, I think if I'm Miss Yap, I wouldn't even be painting now !!! hahhaha
Damn, I HATE MY OCD ! =/
