black and white
The living room walls are finished and today I start on the floor. It’s going to be a glossy white which I think will totally transform the whole house.
As I’ve been working on the floors I’ve thought a lot about the day over seven years ago that we painted them black. I was pregnant with Eden and I tripped and fell into the open heater vent. This action somehow caused, what we later found out to be, a chunk of wood to fall in my eye. Luckily Kevin and Sarah surprised us by showing up with rollers and paint brushes, so Jim and Kevin painted the floor while Sarah took me to the ER to get the wood removed from my eye. It was a totally unfun way of getting out of painting!
So here’s to eye-safe floor painting today!
