# 5 Paint the room

Yesterday was great but awful at the same time. We painted Ladybug's room.

When we started out with the paint sample a few months ago, we were told by the clerk at Benjamin Moore, that all paint samples come in an eggshell finish. So, I went in Ladybugs room and painted a corner with the sample to see if we liked the color. We did. We actually loved it so much ( being so neutral) that we decided to get a 5 gallon bucket and use that color throughout the entire upstairs.

I went back to Benjamin Moore and bought the 5 gallon bucket on Saturday. We edged and painted Ladybugs room. The new paint (from the bucket) did not match the sheen from the sample paint. Kale and I were a little agitated. We distinctly remembered the clerk telling us that all sample paint comes in eggshell. Well, that's what we bought the new paint in! 

After scratching our heads for a bit, Kale and I finally decided to go to Sherwin Williams, right down the road, and talk to a clerk there. The clerk said that it was our paint roller. So we bought a new paint roller. 

We painted the entire room including painting over the sample paint. It worked. We were very happy (TIRED) but happy. The room looks great!

Finally, her room is painted. This was a huge task on my "Preparing for Ladybug" list. I am so happy! Now I can start some sewing projects and get this room done before she arrives (hopefully)!

Love,

The tired and exhausted parents to be...
