Our house is a disaster. All the pictures are off the wall, leaned up against the table in the middle of the dining room. Said table is covered with all of the knick-knacky-type things, plants, candles and small frames that lined our bookshelves and mantle. You see, we had to disassemble the entire main floor because our friends Erica and Drew came over to help us paint.
It’s been over 1.5 years since we moved in and our house has been beyond bland ever since. White walls bore me. We were advised to wait one year before painting because it takes at least that long for the house to settle. And we did. It was partially because we were following orders, partially because we were lazy. Oh, and the whole having a baby thing takes up any free time you were hoping to paint with.
Anyway, that brings us to now. In just a few hours we primed the entire main floor (minus two tiny walls – dinner was ready). Both Erica and Drew are crazy hardcore painters and put me to shame. Their work was flawless. The rooms were instantly warmed and it looks amazing.
Even in it’s crazy state and only half finished, I fell in love with our house all over again. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s all done…………
Stay tuned.
Lizzie Jean - WOW am I impressed. You didn’t even take one day to unwind from all the visitors that took over your house (myself included) before you jumped right in!!! Can’t wait to see it next time we are in town. Thanks again for everything last week.
