My Yellow Room

It is no secret that yellow is my favorite color. Since Jon doesn't really care what color I paint the walls (as long as I don't paint them red, especially if it is only one red wall - inside joke) I decided I would paint one of our spare bedrooms yellow - and I mean yellow.

First of all the room was covered in this hideous 80's floral wallpaper. Since removing wallpaper is a task that I can tackle I took it upon myself to take off all the wallpaper. Shortly before I started to remove the wallpaper an invoice from work caught my eye. One of our superintendents had rented a steamer to remove wallpaper at the owner's house. I thought, hey, we have a steamer I could use that to help remove the wallpaper. So glad I paid attention to the invoice and thought to use our steamer. I got the wallpaper down in one night.




After the wallpaper was down the real work began - for Jon. He patched holes, textured the walls and put up molding around the doors and along the floor. Then his dad came and textured the ceiling for us. He is so good at it and was done in like an hour. After all the texturing was complete Jon primed the walls and ceiling and began painting. He hates to paint and I helped him when I could. We still need to change out a couple of things but for the most part it is complete and I love my yellow room.




Paint to me is like a haircut. If I get a bad haircut - oh well, it'll grow back. If I don't like the color of the paint - oh well, Jon can paint it again - haha. I tell people I have a yellow room and then when they actually see it one of the first things out of their mouth is "that's a yellow room." Isn't that what I told you? Were you expecting purple or blue? Jon likes all the different hues it displays depending on the time of day and the light in the room. Yes I know it is bright but I love it and it makes me smile whenever I walk past it.
