I painted today.
After showing Michal the samples, he said he'd leave that decision to me. I tried three times to get some input and he vaguely narrowed it down to green and orange. (By the way, after looking at my color samples, I noticed that they were all my brand colors!)
I had a lot on my photography mind this morning, and decided I needed to do something totally unrelated to the camera. On a whim, Chloe and I headed out for paining supplies. During nap time, I painted like a maniac so it could be clean and dry and put away by the time Michal got home from work.
I knew it was kinda a bad idea. Michal is an ultra-perfectionist and no matter how well I did (and I did
well), it wouldn't be good enough.
But at the same time, I was having one of those "I'm a big girl and I can do it myself" mixed with "I need to see something through to completion TODAY" and "There's a lot in my life I have no control of, but the accent wall is completely under my control, darnit!" days.
So, it's done. I did it myself. I completed it. I controlled and conquered that sorry wall. And Michal wasn't nearly as happy as I was.
But I think it'll grow on him. He doesn't hate it, he just doesn't love it. But I love that wall. And every time I look at it, I will think of today and all the wild emotions that went into its painting.
