Progress on project "Reclaim That Space" Pics

Alright, after running a bunch of errands yesterday I finally got started on the painting.
so here's what I've done so far...

Always start with the artistic silly pic!!

BEFORE

More artistic~ness...

Forgot the BEFORE so this is kind of DURING

more DURING
This house is over 100yrs old so it has some strange things going on in it, like the baseboards. They are tall but thin and hard to paint and different heights in places too. You'd think we'd change them, but I'm just not THAT ambitious!!! You'll also notice I DO NOT use the blue painters tape! I am a very detail oriented kind of girl, but only in certain areas of my life ~painting isn't one of them!!! I like the black trim, but man THAT was a lot of work{and it's only half done}!! And I worry that it's gonna be kind of dark in there, which is why I was thinking I'd just go with an all white room. BUT that's just NOT me! I like color, dark colors. So I'll just have to buy more lighting!!! Not sure what's gonna go on for curtains either.  Had black ones in this room and they are pretty new, so I figured I'd repurpose them.  But with the windows being black trim, I worry that, that is a lot of black!  The new book cases will be black to.  I LOVE black, it IS my FAVORITE color!!!!
Inside of cubby, DONE

My husband has a buddy who now lives out in Utah, and he is here for a visit.  About the time I had one coat of black trim paint done and was starting to edge the rest of the walls with the white.  My husband came home from riding dirt bikes and asked if I was going to the Pub with them for dinner and then over to the River Rock Bar for Open Mic Night cuz Tallon was gonna play.  Well THAT'S an offer I can NOT turn down, so that was the end of the painting for Thursday.  Hopefully I will get back at it tonight.  Although it may have to wait until Sunday becuz tonight is a big night at the barn, Maddy has a horse show Saturday morning that will need to be gotten ready for.  Not sure she'll need my help?!?!?!

Watching theBoys sing/plays is always worth putting off an important task!
The new radio station promotional T-shirts arrived today. Had to make a run to  pick up ours.  These are sooooo dang funny!!! Tallon is such a humble and modest person that having shirts with his face on them kinda freaks him OUT!!!! Which makes it even more fun for us to wear them!!! 
Oh and I decided in honor of Project "Reclaim That Space" I would streak my hair, to match the new "Teal Lake" colored wall and cubby!!! Okay actually I backed into the wall while painting inside the cubby and my pony tail stuck to the wall and now I have "Teal Lake" streaks in my hair! Awesome!!!! OH WELL, I'm getting a new/freshly painted studio, who cares about my hair!!! There's still a ton of work to do, but I'm getting kinda excited!!!
