Over the past couple of weeks we started cleaning out and rearranging the guest bedrooms to prepare the nursery. Well this past weekend we painted, and it didn't go as planned!!!!!!!!! So Friday I come home from work and my sweet hubby and one of his friends had moved all the furniture from what we have called the "blue" room since we moved in. We never painted any room in our house except the dining room because we didn't want to waste the money on paint and then get pregnant and have to repaint. I now know this was God telling me not to paint, because it is not like me to not paint (plus Jordan really loves most of the colors in our house so it is a hard fight). Anyways, So I get home and they have moved all the furniture so this means it is time to tape. Jordan has started the process and I finally had the guts to say "Can we please call your Dad to come over tonight". Jordan had told his Dad to wait and come Saturday, but I just feel more at ease if he is there when we do anything to our house. So Jordan agrees and we call Daddy Gist to come over and help. He shows up in all of 2 seconds with all his painting gear and his painting overalls! This man must have been excited. If only he knew what was ahead of him.
So they finish taping and they primed the walls. We had to prime the walls, because the previous homeowner has painted the whole house in enamel paint. Why? We have NO clue. So they prime the walls and then we sit down to eat a bite of dinner. After we eat the walls are dry, because we had fans blowing like crazy, so they decide to paint. So by 10pm we have the nursery painted and Daddy Gist goes home. Now let us move to Saturday morning. We get up about 8 or 9 and Jordan calls his Dad to come back over and look at the paint, because we think it looks super great! While Daddy Gist is at the house we start pulling the tape off and of course there is blue showing through now that the paint is down. Daddy Gist, gets his hand paint brush and touches up the blue and we are all like way to go we are done and its only 10am! So, we decide to bring in Seth's furniture from the garage while we have help. Once the furniture is in Daddy Gist goes on home and I run to pick up my Mom to help me organize clothes (you can't imagine the pile of baby clothes we have). While I am at Mom's my Mother in Law calls and I told her to go on in our houser that the door was open. So she calls me back and says "Olivia um did you know there is two colors of paint on these walls". I was like NO its one color its just wet, but it wasn't wet anymore. Somehow something happened to the paint and it changed color over night!!!!!!!!!! We have analyzed every possible thing that it could be and we have no clue. We have decided that it was bad paint. I really wish I had taken a picture at this point in the process, but we were so mad/confused that it never crossed my mind. So I made my MIL call my FIL to come back over ( at this point in the day Jordan has gone fishing and doesn't think its a big deal). So he comes back over and sure enough the paint and the primer both are a different color on Saturday than they were Friday night! So he says heck I"m going back to Benjamin Moore and buying more paint. So this is just what we did. We painted the whole room again. Keep in mind my new furniture is in the room so I am slightly concerned about this process! I finally get in touch with Jordan and make him come home to help Daddy Gist. They did get the room painted, and I LOVE IT! I really want the color in my whole house, but I am terried of it now after this whole color changing issue! We will never buy Benjamin Moore paint again. The whole reason we bought it to begin with was that Pottery Barn told me to lol. I know this is a long long boring post, but I just had to document this weekend. I will add pictures soon. I have lost my camera cord so I have to go to my Mom's and use hers.
