Remember the always expect the unexpected part???  Well a few more problems popped up today.  Over the years several layers of paint have been put on these walls and over time because of the way buildings are constructed here (brick, then concrete then plaster) after a while the paint no longer sticks to the wall.......And thats what happened to us today! YAY!! As I was up on the ladder feeling very proud of myself for having almost completely painted the ceiling myself, and having almost finished the second coat of white paint, i.e just about ready to mix the tan, large chunks of old dry paint in several colors starting sticking to my roller......hmmmmm.... that can't be good.  Then I did just as Luigi taught me and I started scrapping the dry patches off the wall and all of a sudden the little patch became a HUGE section! Oops! Oh well, at least it happened now and not when we were actually sleeping in there. 

I really should have taken a photos before Luigi fixed it because you could actually see the several layers of color underneath, yellow, white, and the green of course.  So this is a layer of plaster over the concrete and now we will have to wait for it to dry before painting over it, but at least it will be fresh! You can also see to the left another section, a bit smaller this time, but another one nonetheless!

And then........I was painting another wall and look what happened here! Great!  This one I actually fixed myself.  After watching Luigi for a while I thought I'd give it a try. Not bad for a first timer.  Let's just hope it stops here and that we don't have any more surprises!

But, since I know these are not the most exciting photos, I wanted to post a couple of photos of some bedding I found on Anthropologie.com my favoriteist store in the entire world! 

Are they to die for or what?!  I absolutely love their home department, these two I especially love for the bedroom.  Think I'll be trying extra hard to fill up that tip jar in the next few months.

I would buy everything in this store if I could! Tomorrow will be a busy day for both of us, so I'm not sure how much work we will get done, but hopefully I will have some new photos to show you. 

Happy Monday! A domani
