Hey Guys! Here's chapter two I hope you like it ^_^.
"Designers Laurie Hickson-Smith and Frank Bielic will be joined by the ever handy carpenter Ty Pennington," Page said as the teams got started.
Harm and Mac who were the blue team were working with designer Frank.
Harriet and Bud were working with Laurie.
"Hey Team!" Frank said excitedly as Harm and Mac entered the room. "Are we ready?"
Mac gave an excited yes as Frank started to ask them what they saw for the room.
"So what do you see happening in this room," Frank asked.
"Well I definitely see this room getting some color, right now it just stuck with the beige walls."
"I agree that's why I was thinking we could get some rich color in here. Also I was thinking of some more heavy drapes to go on the windows kind of close the room in. It's very open."
"What do you think Harm?" Frank asked.
Harm personally had no idea. He's area of expertise was not in decorating. That's why he left that stuff up to Mac.
"Sounds good to me," Harm said trying to sound enthusiastic.
"Good then let's start by moving this stuff out of the room."
Next-door Laurie had already started pulling things off the bookshelf when the red team, Harriet and Bud, met her.
"Hey all," Laurie said cheerfully.
"Are you guys all set to get started?" she asked.
"Of course," Harriet said just as excited.
"Okay so what do you all see going on in this room?" Laurie asked.
"Well I was thinking that these couches could definitely use a makeover. Also I think we need to bring in fabrics that will be kid friendly. They have six children so we don't want to use anything that can be easily ruined."
"I agree. I was thinking about going for more of a safari theme in this room. It's definitely not something I would normally do but I think it would work for this room."
"Okay so let me show you what's going on as far as color goes in this room," Frank said as he brought over some cans of paint.
"This will be the wall color," he said opening the first can of paint to reveal a beautiful sage color.
"I was thinking of going with a more natural theme for this room. What do you think?"
"I love it," Mac said.
He then showed them the trim color and some fabric he had chosen for chair covers and a tablecloth.
"Our first order of business is going to be painting these walls. Since this is a large room I have a paint blaster that one of you can use while the other uses a roller."
Mac grabbed a roll of tape and began taping the room. While Mac was tapping Harm was setting up the paint blaster. Harm was in heaven. He was going to be using some form of a power tool. This was a guy's way to paint.
Meanwhile next-door Laurie was showing her team how to apply the rag rolling technique to the taupe colored walls.
"Okay so take the rag and take these strings and roll the rag up then tie it at both ends…"
Harriet was having a blast. She could tell that Bud was enjoying this too. She just hoped that the Colonel and… Uhhh Mac and Harm were having as much fun.
Frank had gone to speak to Ty about a china cabinet while Harm and Mac were left to paint.
Harm had finished one wall while Mac came behind him and did some touch ups.
"So Marine you like my work," he asked, his patented flyboy grin in place.
"Of course your a master. Except for the fact that your shoes are now green."
"Huh?" Harm asked. Then he looked down at his shoes. As he had been talking to Mac he had left the blaster on pointing at his feet. His shoes and shins were now a nice shade of sage.
Frank had just come back from speaking with Ty when he noticed what Harm had done.
"Well Harm if you really wanted to be the green team you should've told me," he said trying not to laugh, which was unsuccessful... Both him and Mac were hysterically laughing.
Harriet was finally getting the rag rolling technique down. Bud had been working on the ceiling giving that a fresh coat of paint. At one point on the ceiling right above Harriet's head he misjudged how much paint to put on the roller. He put a little too much and when he went to go paint the ceiling a huge glob of paint fell on Harriet's head. Bud Grimaced. Oopps!
"Bud Roberts!!" She yelled. But when she turned and saw the look on her husbands face she just started laughing. Bud was always confused by his wife's behavior joined in her laughter hoping that was the right thing to do.
Laurie had just come back from doing a sewing project when she noticed the nice white spot on Harriet's head.
"White is definitely your color," Laurie said laughing.
"Really I wasn't sure," Harriet said smiling.
In the next chapter you will see what transpired on the rest of day 1 !
