I Didn't Paint the Trim

The first half of my day today went as planned.
I spackled and sanded my wall trim, getting it ready to paint.
I washed door and walls, getting them ready to paint.
But I never actually painted.

Well, I DID paint, but not the trim and not the walls!

As I sat down to eat my lunch, 
I decided to search for something to hang on the wall in my new bathroom.
I found something on Etsy that I loved,
but I didn't want to pay the $295 price!

So I headed out to AC Moore and bought a frame
and some acrylic paint.



Then I went to Home Depot for wood.

 Next, I hauled the miter saw up from the basement to the garage
and cut the wood into pieces.

About an hour and a half later, I had finished cutting and piecing,
and it looked like this:


 But it wasn't done yet.
I still had to paint it!

It took another 4 hours to get all the pieces painted
and pieced back together.
It felt good to finish it all in one day!
 

 I like abstract things.
And I love color.

 It's all ready to hang
as soon as the counter top is installed
on my bathroom vanity.

I can't wait to show you my bathroom remodel!
When it's done.
Maybe Wednesday, I hope!

Tomorrow I'll paint the wall trim.
I got a little off-track today!
