Intervention

Sometimes it's the little things. I came to Baltimore to help Nora paint and organize her bedroom in the new house. She wanted three walls yellow, and one white as a backdrop to photograph her art. The room used to be blue, so after trying to paint yellow over blue, we discovered we had to prime it all. Primer required a four hour drying time.

When I returned to put yellow over the primer, the window wells were not dry because of the high moisture around the windows. We had to use a heater to dry them, therefore we skipped painting them while we continued with the walls.

Today when we returned for the next coat, we decided we really liked the window wells left white. Had they dried with the rest, we would never have noticed that option.

Her room is finally painted, fresh and beautiful. I love helping my children get settled in their home away from homes.
