You stand at the edge while people run you through

It's hard not to feel like a big queen, sitting here listening to Mirah's dramatic "Cold Cold Water" while wearing my bright red plush bathrobe and sipping coffee.

I didn't want to post pictures until it was done, but anyway, here's the work-in-progress known as the office. I've decided I'm just going to break down and get another gallon and do a third coat. I came this far, I don't need to quit before crossing the finish line and getting the results I want. And why do I totally want to buy a paint sprayer as well? Probably because I've been spending random bits of time planning a career in my head as a part-time house painter.

The one solid non-splotchy part of the room (though the edge needs another coat):


Evidence of the roller marks:


How well the paint matches the mahogany trim and my artwork:




How is it already 10:30 and I've barely done a thing?
