Wasabi on the walls

The last time Joshua and I painted and I was actively involved in the process, we were living together in a 3 bedroom townhouse. We almost got a divorce before we were married.

Since then, we have avoided painting. However, Squirrel's impending arrival brought on the drive to put some color on our untouched walls. The living room accent wall Joshua did in June was our litmus test for how painting in the Heerssen household would go. I was mostly uninvolved. I think then we both decided, to ourselves, that it would be best if I remain uninvolved when painting our daughter's room too. Of course I had every intention of being involved... when we said "we're painting tomorrow" I was expecting to jump right in when I got home from work. Joshua had other plans... because he's amazing.

He not only painted Squirrel's room, he painted our electric blue accent wall in the gameroom. And cleaned up before I got home.

The color is perfect... not an exact match to her bedding, but given the amount of color I've got planned for her little space, exactness was not a concern. The window wall was left the original tan-ish builder color. Vinyl art and shelving will eventually live on that wall.

Here's the gameroom wall. I have a slew of movie posters to frame and decorate that wall with.

More painting is planned for Labor Day weekend... dresser, end tables and shelves.
