Ya so, a little while ago we decided it was high time (like 3 years now) that we finally paint the master bedroom. There were 4 different wall colours from the previous owners, and frankly not only did it look ridiculous, but one of the colours just about made my eyes bleed. What the hell were they thinking. I’ll tell ‘ya, THEY WEREN’T!

Anyhoo, here are a series of shots that show the stages we went through:

A. Room is prepped but no paint has hit the walls yet, notice the different colour walls (Pink, Green, Beige and Pink-tinted White)
B. Primer coat/coats have been put on the walls. The pink walls required 2 coats of primer… ugh!
C. Now you’re seeing the final colour before we setup the room. MUCH BETTER!
D. Final Bedroom shot

Some walls ended up with a total of 3 coats of paint, and the pink ones got 5 coats! But it looks good. We went with “Mochachino” and are happy with the results. As well, for the first while we’ll have the crib next to our bed and have baby with us.

Thanks for looking!

It was an eventful day yesterday. Apparently a bee hive was disturbed, and the queen decided to pit stop her brood in a tree located in our townhome complex.

It was quite the thing to witness. The hive temporarily swarmed ( just a few hours) while trying to find a new location (I guess) and by the evening they had disappeared, but not before grabbing our attention. The main swarm was so heavy that it actually broke a branch on the tree.

They were honey bees and as such not violent at all. We left them alone and they treated us likewise. Here’s a few shots…
