Empty Nest menu #156

This room looks deceptively small, 

but painting it took three days total and involved much cleaning and furniture moving.  And then I was exhausted for two days. I used to be able to knock out projects like this while the kids were in school during the day, then have dinner on the table at night. Those days are gone.

However, I was organized and wrote out a plan on that small notebook you see. I did all of the prep the day before, moving as many things out of the room as I could, then taking my time putting it all back together, pacing myself. Its not that I can longer do these things, but they do take more time and I need to slowwww it down.
