I hate painting, but it's ok this time.

Yesterday, during my visitation with my son, we took up paint brushes and rollers and painted the upper part of the room that I will be using for an office/music room. The room was a sort of butter yellow. My decorator (mom) chose a couple of color schemes and I made the final choice among 3. The upper part of the room will be "Soft Kiss" which is a Glidden color. A very soft pink. The lower part will be called "Tinderbox" which is a dark rust. I will install white chair rail between them after painting.

I laid out a tarp, and after a few dribbles my son got the hang of using the roller. I had to go over some of his work because I could see yellow through the new paint, but overall he did a good job. I have found that painting over yellow is not easy, but this morning I inspected and did not see any bleed through, so I removed the masking tape.

I will save the bottom part of the room for his next visit, but will install the masking tape for it a day or two earlier. I was so glad that my 10 year old son had the patience to work with me on this.
