Oops!

Our plan was to have the texturing in the office finished today so we could paint tomorrow. Instead, we cut, hauled, and burned trees from the ice storm at our house. There was almost no wind so it was a perfect day. We got close to being finished.

Since we were going to be painting I picked up the paint. We will need 5-7 gallons depending on the coverage. First coat of paint on new drywall and texture can take more than usual. I ordered a 5 gallon can but to do the color we had chosen he had  to make 5 one gallon cans. Not a problem, easier for me to carry anyway. They adjusted the price so it was the lower price the 5 gallon would have been. Love my Lowe's.

Put everything in the back of my car. Stopped at the store for Mom to Christmas shop. When I opened the tail gate to put her packages in one of the cans falls out of the car. Splat, paint all over Gordmans parking lot.

 Lid bent, can bent, loss of paint. My hero, Bill, was able to beat on the lid to get it back in shape enough to be able to go back on the can. Since we are now two days away from painting, he stopped the paint from drying out.

But, to get the misshapen lid on the can I needed to get rid of some of the paint in the can.  So  I started cutting in the corners of the office closet.

Love this color. The office will be a really rich warm color. This isn't an office where the employees need to be motivated to work  at a fast pace so we were able to go with warm and inviting instead of a motivational color.
