A Little Paint Goes a Long Way

Hello again all faithful readers! (Or at least, I will imagine such) Here's a bit of an update since the last time. We be painting! That's right, a little lime-green paint and Voila! We have a new house. We have currently only painted the bedroom and bathroom a lime-green, but might do the kitchen area the same color. But we haven't gotten that far yet.

Our newly painted bedroom!

Leah painted the entire bathroom and most of the bedroom by herself while I was at work, then when I got home we finished off the bedroom together. Whew, tiring stuff. But what a satisfying thing it was, made the place look like new. You see, there were all sorts of unidentifiable marks and stains on the wall from who knows what, so to be able to cover them over with some beautiful paint was a real blessing! Thais don't usually go for color on their walls too much, so you don't normally get a house or apartment with colored walls. It's a bit of an anomaly. So as silly as it may sound, it really helped make this place home to have clean walls to look at. You don't really think about things like that until you are in a situation like this, and we have learned how to appreciate something so seemingly insignificant, and yet profound!
