Painting update

,So at this point, I called in my paint expert to see my classroom. Who is my paint expert? My best friend and maid of honor, Liz. You may recall her help on the wedding invitation assembly.

She drove up to my school today to help paint the tip tips of the room and offer some advice regarding my native decals.

Me: so what do you think? We would need primer if we were going to paint over them...

Liz: Well..... We could pull the trick you did at your wedding?

Me: What trick?

Liz: Covering them up with fabric of course! Then you could make them into poster areas or bulletin boards or something.

Liz has the best ideas sometimes, I swear. She remembered my curtain assembly I did to cover up some paintings in the reception hall at my wedding. See, our vendor wouldn't allow us to take the paintings off the walls, nor tape or hang with nails things over them. Instead, I sewed curtains to cover them up and we rested the curtain rods/crown molding from then home repair store and placed those over the paintings. When I get my wedding pictures back, I will post one of what I mean.

Anyway, Liz and I set off to the craft store where we found some great patterned fabric, white fabric and batting on sale. We purchased enough to cover three of my four native decals and went back to school. We realized upon our return we lacked things like: measuring tape, scissors, staple gun, etc. So covering up my new frenemies will have to wait another day.

Instead, we went back in and did some touch up painting, more trim and getting into the hard to reach places. I have to say, it's shaping up quite nicely.

 

Tomorrow I should finish the wall with the fish on it. Then next week I will take on the wall with the windows (where i stood to take pictures) and then finally the fabric. Oh and finish resurfacing the main desk I plan on using.

So does my room look like a disaster zone or something from HGTV gone amuck?
