I turned 40 in April. (I still can’t believe it.)

But you are right ON with what “should” happen for a woman when she turns 40. And I would be right there with you if I wasn’t living in the heart of Los Angeles. It’s difficult coming to terms with my 40-year-old self when I’m amongst the beautiful people. I pass them every day (and feel much older on the outside because I’m not 5′8″, skinny as a bean, and wearing heels).

That said? I think you need to celebrate your panicked psyche. Painting the walls is good exercise. You can always paint over the walls with another color if you don’t the first one. What’s to lose? What’s to gain?

Go for broke.

Wow, that’s great! 40 is about decision-making, too! Glad you have a task-master helping drive this.

Before-and-after pictures are essential. You can publish or not, but you will want/need them.

Have fun doing it — it’s a great birthday present to yourself.
