All the Frills: I've Underestimated How Hard Painting Is

We finally started to paint our place! It’s hard to tell from these photos but it’s a very pale blue-grey colour. We’re planning on doing a few dark grey accent walls as well, but that will be down the road from now. Right now we have an ungodly number of rooms to paint (did I mention that painting is a lot of work?) and we’re trying to do as many of them ourselves as we can before we call in a professional to do the parts we can’t do (like the hallways in the stairwells, where the ceilings are two stories high). The home improvement train moves forward!

Weekend Reading:

• Anyone else an Archer Fan? I’m actually pretty impressed by the range of literary references here.
• Holy god this sculpture is nightmarish.
• This piece on Billie Holiday is just really fascinating.
• That’s it, I’m going to start wearing my Snuggie on the bus.
• Who doesn’t love a good priest hole?
