Rojelio had an overnight on-call shift; meaning he'd be gone all day, night, and not back until the following afternoon. Annie's plan was to surprise him by painting the downstairs bathroom. Even though she had never painted before, she thought how long could it possibly take, it's a small room. They do redecorating projects on TV all the time within a day or two.
Well her project became a little more elaborate than expected. She worked all through the night, not even stopping to sleep. At this point she realized a one-man project team is a lot different than a whole crew like on TV.
Rojelio arrived home the following afternoon and unfortunately the room was not complete. But the first coats were on so he was able to get a feel of his new "thrown." Throughout the week finishing touches were added. There are still a few things that need to be incorporated and the idea of tiling the countertop is being toyed with.

Even though it's just paint and some accessories it really feels like a whole new room, even bigger. The difference is amazing! One room down, three more to go.

OH Annie- that is beatiful! My mouth hit the keyboard when I saw the pictures. You are amazing!
Anne, I can't believe you did that yourself. It is beautiful! I am wondering how you thought that complex of a design could be done in 1 1/2 days though. But I guess if you can get through grad school, you can do anything.
Jeez oh pete!!
What an amazing job!!
what a great job!! at first I thought you cut pictures out of a mag. But of course when start a project it always comes out so nice, what greatness.
the design didn't start out that complex but i just kept on going and going and it just sorta snowballed and transformed it what it is
Wow annie you really are amazing.... maybe you should think about switching professions.
