As you know, hubby and I have been renovating (pics to come soon, I promise). So...we were painting in our bedroom last night. We added sand to the paint to give the walls some texture (and it is also wonderful for hiding flaws). I have NEVER painted with sanded added, though. I look at the thick goop, roll my roller in it...and just stare at the wall.
ME: I don't know what to do.
HIM: You just paint like you do without the sand in it.
ME: Really? I thought there would be a difference.
HIM: Just do it like this...*proceeds to show me how.*
ME: Got it.
A few minutes pass...
ME: I'm not getting this. Mine looks awful.
HIM: Keep trying, just do what I showed you. Go over the bottom because you have a lot of texture up top and not much at the bottom.
ME: *Hesitantly* Erm, ok.
A few more minutes pass...
HIM: *Looking at my wall that is now flawed almost beyond repair*...Why don't you sit this one out?
So, moral of the story is, I sucked. I do not know how his walls are so awesome and mine look like a two year old did them. *Sigh* I'm not talented at this sort of thing. I know what I want, but I want someone else to do it for me. Any volunteers?

I hate painting lol
I usually pretend I'm busy whenever someone asks if I want to help them paint lol
Thanks, Jess!

Yeah, I would too, except he drags me in there. I don't mind regular painting so much, though.

That's how I get out of things too. Funny thing though - we JUST got rid of our sandy paint on the bedroom walls we inherited. My husband said it was a pain in the @$$ to get rid of. I kind of liked the texture though.
My verification word is shousetr which I think means those that try to shirk the house work. Like me :)
