Paint. A Four Letter Word.

Looks like five letters, but trust me, it qualifies as a four letter word on many levels. I decided to paint my cave. Piece of cake, right? So not. It would have been fine if I'd stuck with white, but nooo, I had to go with 'Girls Night Out'. As you can see it's a lavender with a gray base. With white if you meander into the trim or ceiling, it's no big deal. With a color...it's pretty noticeable.  I've been painting, repainting and touching up all week. But I'm done (so done). It's obvious it wasn't done by a professional, but it will have to do.
Next project...painting the babies room. sigh.

To add insult to injury I purchased PAINT Shop Pro X8.  I should have paid more attention to the Pro in the title, cause I'm so not.  Our pal CJ uses this program and I was intrigued with it. After I downloaded it, I totally freaked. Too many options. Old dog, new tricks, etc. etc.  When I master it, I know I'll enjoy it. I think I'm going to hit on my beautiful and talented sister-in-law that overhauled my website. Now if I knew what I was doing with Paint Shop, I could have removed my shoes from the picture....I think.
Anybody else using Paint Shop?  Any and all tips appreciated.
