nothing like a fresh coat of paint....

“If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... 

but surely you will see the wildness!”
― Pablo Picasso

 Days before we got married, we (with huge help from my parents) 

painted our living room walls a fresh and clean bright white - 

a stark contrast to the dulled yellow formerly present. 

But now both of the bedrooms are begging for the same face lift. 

So, while my handsome husband cleaned the floors in the bathroom and kitchen last night

AND put away the clean clothes 

that had become somewhat of a permanent heap in the chair in our bedroom...

I feel inspired and ready to push my sleeves up to my elbows
and dip my brush into that crisp white paint again.

So tonight there will be carpet shampooing for him 

(have you done that before? I am a little in love with the carpet shampooing machine)

and painting, painting, painting for me. 

We make a pretty good team, me and Mr. D. The best. 

And somehow he manages to make even the most mundane of chores fun and music-filled

for which I am so thankful.
