Why am I painting the kitchen????

I don't even like to paint! Nor do I like mess and disorganization and clutter - all of which I have in my kitchen, along with the smell of paint.

Okay, I've proved I can do it - and I still have half a kitchen and a laundry room to go.

I'm NOT good with a roller. My son told me to use a roller. The guy in Lowes told me to use a roller. I don't like a roller. I'm not going to use it anymore!!!!

I've had go to back with a brush and touch up where I used the roller. I'm too old to learn to use a roller (did I mention I don't like the roller).

On the bright side, I do have half the kitchen finished and hopefully will at least get the newspapers off the counters tomorrow. Of course, that's the side with the least wall (but more stuff to paint around)... so I still have 'wall' to paint. I do think the rest will go faster as there's more wall and less stuff.

AND, I'm going to love it when I'm finished. I'm trying to be patient - I said I was going to take my time. But, patience isn't my strong point.

It's going to be totally different from what I had - and I think I needed that. And, more than that - I needed to know that I still could paint the kitchen - by myself!!! Okay, now I remember why I'm painting the kitchen - just had to remind myself.
