Do you enjoy painting?

Evil Chris · 10-27-2008, 12:12 PM

I'm in the middle of painting our son's room. It was a unisex yellow and suited him well during his infant/toddler years, but he's 5 now and going to school so Funbrunette and I decided it was time to re-decorate his room with new furniture and of course new paint. So now it's a boyish shade of blue.

I'm not a big fan of painting though. We're doing it ourselves since it's a fairly easy room. Not a lot of angles or much taping to do. Pretty much just straight primer and paint. I still don't like doing it much. We have a few other rooms on the radar for painting, but I'd much rather just hire someone who really knows what they're doing and get the job done faster.

Come on babe you're almost done! "You can do it"!

Crak_JMan · 10-27-2008, 02:40 PM

I love painting, did it for a living for a couple of years back in da day ;-)

ok.. I know sun glasses can be unisex.. I know clothing can be.. But ITS THE FIRST time I hear a colour is UNISEX.. But ok..

I just pray that if I ever buy a yellowish tshirt in the future.. That is will be a MANS MANLY Yellow type colour. a yellow that would even make FABIO comfortable in his manly man sexual orientation..

;-)

Unisex color ? Sounds more like someone is trying to prove something ..

Dude it's ok to like Pink . though for your son's bedroom I'd go with a nice Male Blue .. You'r office can def b a unisex PINK

Evil Chris · 10-27-2008, 03:33 PM

I said if you start separating colours into female/male/gay/straight.. Then .. You might just be .. coming out of the closet. ;-)

I think I like the idea of painting. I get it started and halfway through the project it becomes a chore. Of course I refuse to tape off anything so I guess its after I get paint everywhere I am not supposed to that I start getting annoyed.

Please do not put these spike boys in pink polo in the same category of men as us. That's fucking blasphemy right there.

ExLust · 10-27-2008, 11:16 PM

I love painting. My mom allow to paint my room when I was grade school. And in school
I won some painting contest before. So nice to express your mood in colors.

I'll revisit this thread later with a pic when his new room is all done.

I remember seeing something on tv years ago about a pink room being very relaxing and calming. So some police station painted one of the holding rooms pink and put unruly criminals in there to calm down.

They discovered it worked well for about an hour or so but if left in to long they would get into a rage.
lol

I painted myself my new apartment twice. So, I can say I like to paint, my problem is the cleaning after.

Cyndalie · 10-29-2008, 02:15 PM

I enjoy it! I like doing themed rooms too.
Here's the nursery we did for our baby

She was a suprise baby, and I love her nursery so much to this day!

I can't STAND doing "handyman" type of stuff whetehr it's painting, fixing the sink, car work etc. There are plenty of talented and hard working people out there that I can pay to do those things for me!!

jakethedog · 11-02-2008, 08:32 PM

I HATE PAINTING !! .. my wife makes me paint every 3 years or so .. and me with 4 fricken kids .. have painted each of their bedroom a few times .. .. takes me 3 time to get it to her approval .. and right now am in the middle of painting living room .. Kitchen and laundry room .. the bad news is .. first off .. roofers never flashed the rear area well enough .. water ran inside walls around glass doors .. contractors have been here a week removing flooring ..siding and dry wall in my kitchen .. total construction site .. THEN....who ever painted years ago never primed over the paint in the kitchen and I am having to actually scrap the FUCKING paint from the walls where ever the bond was shitty ..just making me love it more and more ..

dyonisus · 11-02-2008, 09:47 PM

I enjoy painting especially if it is a room in MY place. Right now I share and though I have painted my bedroom the rest of the house is up to the boss lady landlord.

When an ex and I did our house we spet time in every room redoing it over a 3 week period, kitchen bathroom, bedroom, living room, and some of the floors. Its a great wknd or vacation project

ScreaM · 11-03-2008, 02:17 AM

Used to love painting as a kid, not anymore.
