We were able to get so much painted over the week-end! It's amazing what a different color can do for a room. It's not as if the original colors were horrible, but now that we have painted rooms with colors we chose it's starting to feel more like our house. It's hard to go back to a place you've lived and see it all changed but Heidi (my friend who we will buy the house from) is being really great about it. Her daughter Katie is NOT happy about us changing the color of the bathroom....lol I didn't get a before picture which is too bad....it was a very bright minty green. Great for a teenager but not so great for us. That room is now a very nice, light, grass green.
We had some great help and we can't thank my mother-in-law Joyce enough for all of her hard work. We couldn't have done it without her!! Dear daughter Jade was a great moral support. Teenagers...sheesh.
So here are some pictures of our very long week-end. We painted 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.....
Poor Jade! Painting is such hard work!!
This is my scrapping room. I would never use this color in any other room--it's so bright and cheery it just screams creativity to me. I still need to paint the trim white but it's so close!
John starting his office.
John's office after the walls were painted. We will be painting the trim a dark green. He has some hunting camo items like curtains and a pillow that he will be using in here and these colors match great!
Joyce hamming it up as she was starting to tape in the master bedroom. She's so silly!!
This is the new color for the master bedroom. Joyce is so amazing at the detail work we had her take the tape off and touch up the spots that needed it. I love her green streamers on the ladder....lol
We painted the master bathroom the same as the master bedroom. I was concerned that the color would be too dark for a small room but it actually turned out really nice.
That's it for this week! Hopefully I will be able to post pictures of the finished rooms next week. Wish me luck.
