I'm painting my front bedroom before I move my bed and dresser in there. It's the one room in the house that has an air conditioner at the moment, and the Oklahoma summer is starting to get warm. I'm priming the walls while I decide what color to paint them. I think I've forgotten everything my painting friends taught me back in January, but it's my house, and I get to learn by making mistakes. Whatever I end up with will at least hide the crappy paneling. If I decide I don't like it, I can repaint it another time.
I'm still not sure exactly what color I'm painting it. Probably some shade of blue, to help me feel cooler. Maybe I'll paint each wall a slightly different shade. I thought about stripes, but that would probably drive me nuts. People always say, "It's your house, you can paint the walls black if you want." Um, well, I think it won't do that. If y'all want to paint your walls black, I hope you enjoy the experience and the results. For me, what it's all about is the freedom not to worry about a less than perfect result, and the freedom to try again.
