The Spackle Debacle




Will someone please explain to me why the Mr. has stripped wallpaper, will refinish the vanity, paint and install a new floor but he refuses to spackle the holes in the wall?
Update: The Tomato Bath has become The Zucchini Bath. The first swipe of tomato red caused the Mr. to become very quiet and even I to pause and consider that perhaps one should not choose paint at the zenith of PMS. The good news is the stem green color is BOO-TEE-FULL so onward we go. The Mr. keeps saying, "I love it!" and I must agree. And while he was at practice Mac spackled all the offending holes his dad was hanging on to. Coat one is done as as it dries the Mr. is hanging our new light fixture. So; can I interest in you a gallon of tomato red paint?

Maybe he had a tramatic experience with spackle as a child and still avoids it because HE JUST CAN'T FACE IT! Perhaps that picture of him on your side bar was taken in his innocence right before the introduction of spackle. Oh how he longs for those spackle free days.

I bet he's thinking that if he doesn't spackle...you might just change your mind about the colors of the Tomato bathroom.

Thank you, thank you for praying for me! I truly appreciate it, and brings comfort to know that even people I've never met are being sent by God to reach out to me at this difficult time. I know your new project will turn out to be beautiful!
