Today I got up early and went to my new apartment to change the color of the furniture. I didn’t like the old color, so the landlord told me “if you don’t use them, you can throw them away, I don’t mind.” He is such a good landlord, so I thought I could just change the furniture into a color I like. I decided to paint it red. My friends told me I would need two coats of paint. Actually I couldn’t handle it very well, because it was my first time doing it, so I got oil paint everywhere! I struggled a lot, so I need people to help me.
