Painting Shirts

I spent several days last week painting my mom's bedroom.

I painted the formerly floral wallpapered walls a neutral taupe color, and I painted all her wood stained mouldings white.

I tend to like to hurry and I don't always do the necessary prep work but my Dad's famous words, "Take time or make time", kept running through my head.

I started on the mouldings around my Dad's closet.  For some reason I thought my mom had moved his clothes out of it so I was taken back when I opened the door to see several of his shirts hanging there.

There was a trigger I didn't see coming.

I saw his painting shirts and that was that.

I may or may not have painted a little heart on one of the sleeves.

The lighting doesn't do the walls justice, but they turned out beautiful.  

Now she just needs the new baseboards and carpet installed.

Thanks Dad, for teaching me how to paint so I could help my Mama.
