Painted House




We decided to take on the project and paint our living room,
entry way, hallway, and laundry room. It took us 3-4 weeks
to finish the entry way and living room. The photo on the left
still shows the tape and the ugly yellow that we had on that
shelf and then a back wall. We didn't like it, so I had to repaint
it. I had to do 3 coats in some places because the paint left
streaks. Matt would watch Nathan in our computer room while
I painted away. Lots of times I would stay up until 2AM painting
while Nathan was sleeping. We both like it, but it is quite a bit
darker than we thought it would be.
We were only able to get as far as we did because my parents
came to visit. They helped do the entire hallway with 8 doors.
I still have some to do, but they were life savers. We haven't
even been able to start the laundry room. I got the yellow paint
lightened up and will use it for the laundry room.
