It's January so that must mean it is time to paint. January is an awesome time of year to paint (insert sarcasm here).
The most obvious reason is because it is so cold you can't do anything outside. Which means it is so cold outside that you can not open the windows to keep from getting high on paint fumes. It also means that the paint will take twice as long to dry. So why I get the inkling to paint every January is beyond me.
I can tell you that new paint makes me happy. I know, it may have a little to do with the paint fumes but I think it has more to do with a fresh new coat of paint.
Last January I painted my room a cool (and I mean this like, a cool color, not like, "Dude that was so cool!") gray.
I really like the gray but all year I have felt like it needed something. Yes, some pictures on the wall and some furniture that wasn't early newly-wed but not so newly anymore would help. But it needed something MORE!
This weekend it started to come together. First of all I just have to tell you that Lowes and I have a relationship they understand my need for paint and they are more than happy to have their paint on sell, frequently.
This week Olympus Premium Low Odor paint was on sell. We haven't ever tried Olympus paint but it was on sell and what I have in mind for our room may backfire. Also, it is low odor and we can test just how much of my happiness is the new paint or just the paint. I'm going out on a limb here and keeping my fingers crossed as I jump out of the neutral world into the wow that is a color world.
Because what I plan on doing is painting this wall,
this color.
Well here it goes, wish me luck!
PS Low odor smells a little like play doh

Happy painting! I'm totally jealous of the smell.
