Everything looks better with a coat of paint

The trouble with me
learning about the joys of paint is that now every project takes three
times as long. Gotta lay down some primer and then pretty colors before
Mark can start putting it all together.
I'm attempting to keep
the obsession in check, though. For example, I didn't paint the
underside of the
upcoming sofa loft...although
I really did think about it.

Painting
I would paint the underside because it adds a protective element against the 'elements'. I understand that no one will see it; but I believe that projects will last longer. Thank you for sharing your stories. I learn so much and stay motivated with my own efforts. Blessings.
