My Mother’s Day Gift

Some women like gifts that in come in little blue boxes, but my idea of the perfect gift is having someone else (a professional painter friend) paint my bathroom and bedroom.

Before

After – and still a work in progress but the walls are freshly painted!

I LOVE the new color.  It’s so bright and light and spa-like.  It’s amazing to me how a wall color can make a room actually look bigger.  This color is sandpiper by Martha Stewart, and our painter friend had it color matched at a local paint shop – Perspectives.  He swears by them and many professional painters here in the Lexington area use them exclusively.  I think in a bathroom it’s especially important to use a good quality paint.

There’s still a long way to go before we call it a wrap on this little bathroom update, but I am one happy momma!  I don’t mind painting, but my hub literally hates to paint.  It’s nice every now and again to be treated on things I usually do myself.

But, I just can’t help it, if there are paint fumes in the air I have to get my hand on a brush.

I’m freshening up the cabinets that the previous owners painted white.  They really need a fresh coat of paint, and it became even more obvious against the freshly painted walls.

Some time next week I’ll show what color our master bedroom got painted.  It’s all kinds of drama for this mama.  😉  Right now, it’s a hot mess with an un-made bed and furniture strewn about, but the walls are so gorgeous I could care less about the mess!

Hope you have a beautiful weekend!  See you on Monday friends!
