Sigh.
I did it.
This week.
Friday, actually.
I went to Home Depot.
And, I learned that Home Depot is designed for Men and Lowe’s is designed for Women.
I hated Home Depot.
Too confusing — nothing was where it logically should be.
The Staff was NOT helpful.
Except for the paint guy, who talked too much and made too many over-the-top obvious statements. (Yes, sir, I AM thinking painting a room in my house. Yes, sir, my child IS a girl. Yes, sir, I KNOW to make sure the paint lid is securely on.)
But, I came away with paint.
Two cans.
Bonjour Beige and Appalachian Trail.
I’ve very globally aware in my paint selections.
I rearranged our entire downstairs in preparation for painting.
I mean COMPLETELY rearranged.
Only the kitchen stayed the same (and that’s just because I couldn’t move the appliances).
I was very sweaty — and it wasn’t the good kind of sweat.
Then, I decide to paint a sample wall in Bonjour Beige.
That’s when I learned that I hadn’t purchased any brushes.
I tried using a kitchen sponge.
I now have a very streaky wall muttering, “Bonjour.”
This is why I waited two years to begin repainting my downstairs.
It never goes well.
Double Sigh.
