First Day of the Year-Working on the Budoir

I couldn’t sleep last night so I worked on the wording for my good morning wall quote on my Cricut till about 4 this morning.  I got up at 6 AM ready to work in my bedroom.   I had to caulk all the window edges, prime the walls, trim and ceiling and put down baseboards.  I kept taking breaks OFTEN then I cooked dinner which included turkey.  After I ate I was soo sleepy then in my mind I blamed that on the turkey as it was proven there is something in there that makes one sleepy.  Later I realized I only got 2 hours of sleep!!!  Well no wonder I was so sleepy Sherlock & the turkey only made it worse!

I put the baseboard down, used almost 4 tubes of caulk caulking everything then primed the ceiling and walls.  I got this super cheap primer from Lowes called drywall primer and it was about $7 for 2 gallons and it is actually a very nice primer..I think it is closer to Bullseye than Kilz.  I had the primer custom tinted and now looking at the color of the primer ( a very soft bluish gray) I really like it as a room color.  I am not going to keep it but it did make my bedroom look huge.  No!   My bedroom is going to be pink…I already have the paint.  Anyway I am going to bed.  I took an extra day off and tomorrow I will be painting the walls.  I am not all that good at trim work…so thank God for caulk!!  It covers a lot of mistakes LOL.  Anyway this is where I am at now.  I am thinking I am also going to paint the stones on the fireplace cause they are so dirty and I can’t clean them (yes, I tried)
