Leave the painting to the painters I say
My painting skills are limited to identifying which end of the paintbrush gets dipped into the paint bucket.
My wife recently painted the upstairs bathroom bright aqua on two walls and slate gray on the third, and I’m not sure how they really blend with the quartz-style counter-tops, and I don’t have the nerve to ask.
Honestly, I don’t spend enough time in that room (other than out of necessity) to worry so much about the colour schemes, as long as the toilet flushes, and water comes out of the sink. If I wanted to spend money getting the bathroom professionally painted, I would have suggested she hire a Vancouver painting contractor to do the work, and hopefully have them select colours that at least matches the floor tiles.
I’m not saying that my wife is the type of woman who buys a pair of shoes, then shops for a dress to match, but I noticed that she had purchased the new shower curtain before she had any thoughts or ideas about renovating the bathroom.
If I had any skill with a paintbrush, I’d put my money where my mouth is, and show her how it’s done. But as you can probably guess, I’m better with words that I am with a paintbrush, and unless it’s a Photoshop brush, I can’t call myself an expert painter, let alone a novice.
I appreciate the idea of saving money by doing-it-yourself, however I have a sense that a painting contractor might be cheaper given that they will only need to paint the walls once.
The downstairs bathroom is now being discussed for renovations, and I suspect that I’m going to be looking at sea foam and banana yellow to go with the lime green bath mats…maybe my wife could find another hobby that doesn’t involve punishing my eyeballs every time I need to pee!
