Ever wish there was an undo button for things that you’ve done?

I took my daughter to her college freshmen orientation yesterday. It got me remembering my favorite math teacher from high school. My daughter was fortunate to have had him too. Some of the most valuable things he taught me was to ask questions and not be afraid to ask for help. Even though I know this, I don’t always apply that principle.

I cleaned out my laundry room last week and moved a hutch out of there thinking of putting it in my craft room. I took Dandy Dancer with me to buy some paint to finish a table that I bought at the DI a few months ago. I asked her if I should buy some paint to paint for the hutch too. She suggested a bright teal called Lagoon. I was daring and purchased four cans of paint.

I painted it and now I’m thinking, “What have I done?!”

Where’s the undo button?!

I then went onto Behr.com. I’m thinking I now need to paint the entire craft room to coordinate with this hutch. I think the Lagoon color is bold enough so I need something more mild. I found a color scheme that looked good on the computer. I head to the store and buy paint. It’s called Book Binder and Subdued Hue. After the lady mixes it up, I’m not sure that is going to look as good as it did on the computer.

I have now piled all my craft stuff into my laundry room and kitchen. Yes, I have a lot of stuff crammed into that small room. It’s a mess. We can’t eat in the kitchen. I can’t do laundry. And the sad part is this all started with cleaning the laundry room. Haha.

I painted two of the walls with the darker Book Binder and the other two walls with the Subdued Hue. The dark color is looking darker than I want. Again, where is that undo button?!

Several months ago, I asked someone for help. It didn’t work out. Instead someone else got all the help I asked for and more. I wish there was an undo button for that. Maybe someday I will tell you more about it. It was the beginning of my series of troubles that lead me to starting this blog.
