I did it again!

Hi there millions of readers! :P I was thinking of some ways to improve my home without spending money and I found some left over paint. Its the same color I have painted my living room, wich made me happy cause I love that color. I thought, mmm... I really hate the stairs wall. Last time we painted the red in that wall (6 coats later :S) we made a big mess. We were very sick of the painting and wanted to be done and didn't even bothered to tape around the carpet. Result, paint all over! So this time around after finding my lovely left over from the living room I decided to do a better job and fix that wall.

First step: Because "of course" it wasnt gonna be the JUST PAINT AND BE DONE proyect, I decided to lift up the edges of the carpet (It wasn't a biggy since we are installing new carpet in the next three weeks).

After pulling the carpet out there were the staples! Ohhh man, one more thing!



My hands were soo sore by the time I called it a night.

Funny Story. Talking to Alex the next day we've come to realize how much we hated that metal frame and that it wouldn't be very hard/expensive to just raise the wall there and make it more functional. Sooo...

That happened. Yes I DID IT AGAIN! I didnt stick to my little proyect. It just grew gigger and bigger and this is were "we" (not just me now) are. Wish us luck and soon to come is the finishing product.
