Having a teenage daughter can be the best thing in the world. She is helpful, smart, adventurous....but most of those adventures need driving to or cost money or are so time consuming they ar nearly unbearable. Ali's latest and greatest is that she wants to paint her room. Up until 2 days ago, her room was a dark pink/red. Doug has said for years, everytime she is in one of her moods...."You know, red is an angry color....maybe we should paint her room something else". So, here we are.
For those of you that live in California, you will understand me when I say that painting this room was a huge deal. You see, most people don't paint themselves because that's what Charlie Cho is for....plus he does a way better job. But currently we are not as well off as we would like so taking on the task is our's. Since the room was red we had to paint 2 coats of primer and then it was time to decide on the color. It's called Limeaid which says it all. Her theme is 70's funky with black and white bedding and all so we will see how this goes. We couldn't paint last night because I had a 2 hour cheer meeting which ended in writing a big fat check so tonight's the night!

When I was in high school, my bedroom was painted a shade that was best described as "Kermit the Frog" green. It went well with the rainbow comforter/curtains (hey, it was the 70's). Ali is being retro, but she's a girl after my own heart. Chris wants to paint his room black, we're considering actually painting one wall black. We'll see.
