The Lloyds - Stacey's Lessons Learned

Things Stacey Learned from Redecorating Jake's Bedroom

1. Everything your husband does is wrong, so why bother asking him to help? But if you make the mistake of asking him, be prepared to tell him how to do everything the right way.

2. No matter how thorough your list of supplies, you will forget or need something you didn't have on your list.

3. Shows like Trading Spaces completes projects in 2 days because they figured out that completing projects during your kid's nap times take forever.

4. During Martha Stewart's visit to Camp Cupcake, her staff must have been slacking because her Easy Living paint color named "Red Hot" should have been named "Red Orange".

5. Painting small squares on a textured surface is NOT for the impatient person.

6. You need 5,000 sponge brushes to complete one room of painting.

7. Painting ceilings suck. Hell, painting sucks.

8. Keep the door closed during painting or your son will get in, grab the paint roller and run with it.

9. The guy who invented wall borders is somewhere laughing his ass off.

10. The race track Erik painted on the ceiling with Rustoleum will never rust. Whew! Now I can breathe a sigh of relief!
