Summer Project

With the beginning of summer comes the beginning of a summer-long "honey-do" list. This summer we decided it was time to do some upgrading to the inside of our house (we replaced two trees and some plants outside last summer). Our house is nearly 10 years old and all of the contractor-installs are becoming faded and worn. We had been wanting to paint the inside of the house since we moved in six years ago. Although at that time there was no real reason to paint since the house was fairly new and in great condition. However, I did paint a few rooms. Then as our two lovely children came along we painted their rooms. But the main living areas needed to be refreshed, so after talking about painting for at least two years we finally broke down and did it. Boy, was it a LONG process (I shouldn't be admitting this but, Kyler watched a lot of T.V., and Blake slept a ton - as newborns do). It took us about 4 - 12+ hour days to paint all of the ceilings, trim, and walls in our living room, dining room, kitchen, and hallway. It was very painstaking, but the end result was definitely worth it!

With the paint all finished up and the addition of a new ceiling fan in the living room, our house feel less like a "cookie cutter" home and more homey! Now onto painting the exterior?
