Yay for your daughter! That sounds like a LOT of hard work on her part!

At work, I used to do all the business taxes. But when we got sold 2 years ago, new boss decided to have a real accountant do it rather than me. Fine by me! Cleaning & painting I do at night.. I got a lot painted this past few months

Living room & kitchen (have to redo the entire kitchen ceiling as I accidentally used 2 different colors of paint). The orange is a Disney color called "Tigger Orange", the light green is "Springtime Grass" and don't remember what the darker green was called. But those colors have been discontinued it looks like.

Hallway between DH's office & my craftroom (PLEASE EXCUSE THE SLOBBY MESS!! I am NOT SusieHomemaker!)

The red paint I found in the "Oops" section at Home Depot. I wanted a nice blue as close to a turquoise as I could find, and then do the trim in the red, then the doors in the yellow. Only bad thing is that I didn't want enamel (I *hate* painting with enamel!), and that's what the yellow was made in. BLEH! So now I have to redo the yellow to make it look even. It took me about 6 hours to paint the living room, 2 hours to paint the blue in the hallway, another 2 hours to do the red trim (the trim is a "rippled" trim that is NOT easy to paint!! I had to blop the paint on rather than use a roller or brush. (http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/...) I *hate* this trim, but DH doesn't want me to yank it off. So I just deal with it. Bleh. The doors were pretty easy, only took about 2 hours to do all 5 doors (4 in the hallway, then main entrance door). I started the hallway project when I got off work when DH was in Vegas for a week, took me 2 days to do the entire hallway (I have to finish it up still, but been lazy, probably get it done this weekend).
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
