Painting

It has been two years since Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast. My family was able to repair the damage to our house after the storm except for the new coat of paint that our walls needed to cover the spots where the walls had been repaired. After two years, we are finally getting our house painted. We are redoing the paint in all the rooms of my house and it is both exciting and nerve racking. My mom has been driving herself and the rest of us crazy trying to pick out the perfect colors for each room. I'm picking the new color for my room and I understand my mom's worry about choosing the perfect color, after all it hard to tell what the color on those little squares of paper will look like once you put it on the wall (and if you don't like the color once it's there thats just too bad). Also to paint a room you have to move everything away from the wall, which in a messy room is not easy. Two rooms got done today, though, and they look great. Tomorrow the painters come to paint my room so hopefully it turns out as good as the rooms that have already been done.
