How to paint my room
It made me
Happy but tired... 
"Fabulous."
How I did it: Alright, this is the third time I paint my room. Last time I did it, it was in 2007, I guess. I had painted it with two tones of pink with a tiny wall striped with different tones of pink, white, black and gray.
This time it was a little bit harder to convince my parents to get me painting my room. But with a lot of talking and dragging mom to the store to buy some paint on Saturday, I finally found myself ready to do it.
I hesitated about the colour a lot, but then the name caught my eye: Cappucino. Hey, I'm a coffee addict, you know?
And sand storm, as I didn't want one colour room. Too boring...
So, after buying paint, I decided to put little stuff into a basket on Sunday. I also made sure that my curtain wasn't up still, my shelves were empty and everything was ready to get moved other than those big stuff, like desk and bed etc.
Next step was to call grandma and ask her to come over. And make sure that you go to bed early the night before.
And of course, wake up as early as you can.
I covered the windows with newspaper so that sun wouldn't just come into the room and moved out my commode and the matress. Pulled the wardrobe away from the wall I started painting.
Starting with a wall that you think is the hardest. Since I had those black stripes, I of course did start with it.
Paiting that huge wall with the other cover and moving on with the wall behind the wardrobe. I was done with two walls by noon, so time to have lunch with grandma.
Eat well, as it gets you energetic to do more.
I was done with all the paiting by 16.30, was done with the last touch by 19.00, including cleaning and designing again.
That was great!
And I still look at my room and be happy about the colour I chose, though, I must admit that I still miss those stripes...
Lessons & tips:
- Get yourself someone to keep you company. Talk to you and hand you the brushes you need while you're up on the ladder.
- Make sure that you have a very thin brush and some white paint just in case you paint the ceiling. So you can cover those.
- It is important to sleep early so you can be done with it early.
- While chosing the colour, chose it according to how often you paint your room. If once in every five years, don't chose something trendy, as you may get bored of it much earlier.
- Set deadlines for yourself and try to stick to them. Like you'll end that wall in an hour.
- Prepare sandwiches for lunch the night before. Makes you not to waste too much time.
- And,,, enjoy it very much so!
