If you read my blog last night, I told you that my bathroom would be painted a “lovely blue gray” color called Eternity. Well, it is going to be an eternity before I get this monster painted.
I started with the commode. Mike mentioned taking it out, and I assured him it was not necessary as I’d read on the internet to simply wrap the commode in Saran Wrap and paint behind it. Of course that is true because I saw it on the internet. Here’s my wrapped commode. Fashionably wearing red.
To wrap this little sucker I had to do gymnastics. I’ve never hugged a commode like I hugged this one as I scooted and pulled Saran wrap around it. If someone had entered my bathroom at just the right time, they would have seen me lying on my back with my head wedged between the wall and the commode painting with rollers, artist brushes and foam craft brushes. Anything I could find. And I can tell you…it just doesn’t seem right to be staring up at a commode. It’s weird.
But amazingly, the Saran Wrap deal worked. I’m that lovely gray blue, too, but the commode remained white and the wall was painted behind it. Probably not very well, but it’s painted.
This is going to take much longer than I thought. It will be days. Luckily, I learned I can wrap my paintbrush in Saran Wrap and place it in the refrigerator to keep it from drying out. Guess where I learned that?
Haha….you make me laugh. Wish we were there. There’s quite the chill in the air in Anderson!!! What’s the weather like there?
It’s a bit like fall! I love it!! Got a note from “Nana” LaVerne and she’s starting to think about a reunion on July 4 of next year. I think it would be fun! I have still not finished cutting out my quilt because of my painting project, but I’m making headway!!
Wish you were here, too!! I’ll be so ready to ask a zillion quilt questions. I was trying to think of how to tie the family reunion into a future quilt some how.
Re: the saran wrapped commode
At least you can skip the yoga class this week!! Hope the rest of the painting goes smoothly. It is a great feeling to see the transformation!
Judy…
Thank you. I’m not much of a painter, but I’m using Benjamin Moore paint. It’s expensive but one coat seems to be working. I hope I get this done soon!!
