How To Paint Your Living Room
1. Say, upon moving into new house, "We really need to paint the living room."
2. Allow a year to pass.
3. Repeat previous statement about really needing to paint the living room.
4. Allow another year to pass.
5. Talk casually about colors that might look good yet fail to reach definitive conclusion.
6. Allow a third year to pass.
7. Go to Home Depot and pick up some color samples, but don't actually buy any paint.
8. Invite parents-in-law to visit.
9. Make them paint the living room.
10. Also, make them clean up afterwards.
[the same strategy can be employed for other rooms in the house, so long as your parents-in-law don't catch on.]
