Painting isn't my favorite

The time has come for me to paint the boy's bedrooms. They were the only rooms in the house that we didn't have painted before we moved in. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, so I thought I'd do it myself. Well, 17 months later and many questions of "Mom, when are you going to paint my room"....here goes.

My first swipe...
Cutting in, or whatever that darn technique is called. I'm not good at it.

Thankfully, I have a support team. Brenda does this professionally, and couldn't stand to watch my attempts so took over for a while. And Melissa is VERY TALENTED at holding brushes and trays.
Now, I was at it for 6 hours yesterday (including Brenda's time) and I have one room 1/2 done. So I may be at this a while. I don't know how you Magill girls get a whole freagin' house done in 3 hours.
To be continued....

It's really not the Magill girls who paint quickly. It's our mom. She can paint a room in an hour. It's crazy. It's her superhero power. She's painter-girl, saving the decorating world one room at a time. We just benefit from her.

You're doing great. Hang in there!

Acutally I believe we refer to her as the paint nazi. She likes to take over the world one painted room at a time. Our secret ingredient is rollers on a stick. It's like magic.
