Redecorating the Living Room

Today Fred and I decided to finally hang up our pictures in the apartment. Lucky for me, he is quite handy with tools (and I fell over the toolbox twice and knocked a wooden horse statue off of the shelf three times... so there you go).

The blinds in our living room are beige and dirty - Fred bought new blinds to hang up instead, but we haven't gotten around to hiring someone to do it. So, he had a brilliant idea - we should just spray paint the blinds we already have to cover the dirt! Two minutes later he emerged from his back office carrying "amarello sunrise" spray paint and away he went. Needless to say, it was horrendous and instead of being plain dirty, it now looked like Big Bird had vomited all over the blinds.

Deciding that this was a really bad idea, we realized we had no alternative but to move forward. So here's how we redid the blinds in our living room...oh, and we also hung up a fingerboard over our bedroom door to help strengthen our hands for climbing!! Tomorrow, we are going to buy black spray paint for the blinds...stay tuned for more excitement.
