Recently, my younger sister decided that she wanted to paint her room. Considering that my mom was offering to buy paint, I thought it would be a good idea, too. My room was originally a dark purple, which looked alright with my white furniture, but there just wasn't enough light for it to look great.

I chose a light teal color called "Spa." I was hoping the new color would help me relax. Well, as of right now, I am not relaxed. I am STRESSED. First, it took me an entire day to clean my room and move all my furniture. Then, it took me a whole other day to tape the trim and door frames. Next, it took another day to paint the primer on the edges. And that brings us to today, when I finally finished priming my whole room.

So basically, it's already been 4 days and I haven't even started painting my actual color. And now I'm busy this weekend, so I don't know when I'll get to paint it. And the primer I used smells really bad so I can't even sleep in my room until I paint the new color.

Somehow, my sister's room is nearly done, although I think that's due to all the help she gets from my parents (which makes sense since she's 11). My dad actually did help me today, which is the only reason the primer got done.

All in all, I'm starting to think that painting my room was a really stupid move. I can barely get to my dresser, I can't sleep in my own bed, it's a pain in the ass, and I'm only actually in this room for 3 months out of the year. Looking back, I would've just left it purple if I had known what a freaking hassle this would be.

The moral of the story is this: DON'T PAINT UNLESS YOU LIVE THERE FULL-TIME. It's not worth it! All this for a lighter color in a room I'm in less than half the year? It's stupid!

I will be sure to update you all on the paint situation when I'm finished.
