YAS! 'Tis time for PAINT! Weeeeeeeee.
[June 2019]
Brian hit the ground running with a few weeks of the "boring part" of painting in the form of spraying the garages white and spraying the interior walls/living spaces with primer. We visited him out there a couple of times, but he had all windows and doors taped off [and the photos look cute and all but let me just reestablish the fact that this was taking place in late June/early July -- AKA it was a very similar feeling to the blown-in insulation hell that I hashed out over here] + there was so much messy white overspray + the smell took our breath away + ZOMG. We quickly realized it was not a fun environment to play in and retreated to the car!
As he continued to spray for a week or two more, we hit up the paint store for swatches for the rest of the house!
Agreeable Gray.....let's hope you are, indeed, agreeable!
After a lot of hemming and hawing and spectating of all of the swatches in different lights, we decided on final colors and ordered paint by the gallons! Scarlett's bedroom was up first...

...soon to be followed by Harper's bedroom! I wanted to let both of the kids paint a few swipes in their respective rooms juuuust so they could say they helped paint their walls; needless to say, Harper painted a few swipes...and a few more...and a few more...
...and that little Energizer Bunny just kept going...and going...and going! She absolutely loved it and was so proud of her work! We sweat our booties off painting [mid-July heat with nooooo A/C, you know...] but of course had fun doing this project together. :)
[PS - Thanks to Grammy Resa for watching Sissy in the background! She got loose for 0.3 seconds and was wrist deep in the gallon of pink paint, so it goes without saying that it's more or less impossible for me to work AND keep an eye on that little pistol both at the same time!]
After the kids' bedrooms came bathrooms and laundry room...

...and then the largeeee area of kitchen/dining room/living room!
Our neighbors popped in early one Saturday morning and invited Harper to their son's baseball game. She loved being there and Brian and I loved having an hour or so to binge-paint without her! Thanks, friends!
A little more paint in the master bedroom...
...[complete with a sentimental touch and a mini-tribute to the house we fixed up as newlyweds!]...
...plus a few touch-ups here and there...
...and VOILA!!!
Painting is doneeeeeezo! :) :) :) :) :)
[[On to staining!]]
