Painting the house - FINALLY!

This has been a long time coming, and thanks to my friend Maria who forced me to just do it (and came over and did all the hard parts ;) )it's finally done!

Part of it anyway.

We did the hallway and entryway a butter cream color, and the living room is a latte color.

Looking into the living room from the entry way

This is a picture of a corner where the 2 colors meet

This is during painting

A doorframe in the hallway, we haven't put fresh white on the trim yet, we had to sand it first

My curtains

One piece of art I bought, it looks high but that's because we don't have a mantle up yet

More art

The entry way - I need new lights in there and a white bench instead of that table

Looking down the hallway, none of my pictures are back up yet

After all the furniture and art was put back - Corey was putting the feet back on the couch

Above the entertainment center, I need a new white one and a big mirror to hang above it
Those candleholders have sand and seashells inside.
I'm also getting new non-neon stuff for the fishtank so it matches.
And new lamps.

I love, love, love it! It's exactly what I wanted. I can't wait to keep putting new pieces in and taking old pieces out, all in due time.

Next will be the kitchen (Shire green) and the guest bath (pinstriped gray and white), and the master bedroom (robin's egg blue with chocolate trim).

I'm going to have to live in this house forever, once I get this all done I'm never going to want to leave it!

AJ's painting at preschool

I recently noticed that one of AJ's paintings from last year or the year before is framed and hung in his old preschool that Andrew attends now. I thought that was kind of neat.

He says it's a fire truck.

Updates

I've been so busy, I haven't had a chance to update in awhile. We're all doing well, we just have a lot going on.

I'm working now, at Kohls, I have been working there for 5 weeks or so. I like it a lot. I'm working nights after Corey gets home, so it works well for us.

We've been painting too. My friend Maria is an awesome painter so she's been helping me. We've got the hallway all done and tomorrow we're painting the living room. I'll post pictures after it's done.

All that will be left to paint will be the master bedroom and the kitchen!
