Chip Repair

I grew up in a home with wood paneling on the walls. It never showed dirt, dings, hand prints, or anything really. (Wait a minute! Wood paneling has gone out of style why?) So the concept of "up-keep" on painted walls, is somewhat foreign to me.

I have lots of little dings where the paint is chipping off. We've already established how "un-projecty" I am, and the thought of fixing up all those holes in my wall was a little bit daunting to me.

Never fear, Larissa was here, and she helped me use a razor blade to carefully take a big chip off the wall so that I could have Sherwin Williams color match it for me. I've been busy spackling, texturing, and painting. (Which honestly hasn't been that hard now that I know how to do it, and have the supplies.) I've been turning things like this (See the white chipped paint?):


into this:
I've been feeling pretty good about myself and all my little "projects".

Little did I know, a sweet 5 year old was watching the use of the razor blade and scraper VERY carefully. Well, little did I know until this sight greeted me in my bathroom,
and my office, and my den, and my hallway.

For the love of Pete! Can a girl catch a break?? Guess I'll be patching more walls.
