Painting

Yay! The painting is done!!!

Since we had a long weekend due to the 4th of July holiday, I convinced Scott we should repaint the main living area of the upstairs of our house. Boy was it a job. The main area consists of the living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway. Also, I thought we should paint the stairway that leads to the basement. Well, that part didn't get done (all of the way, it is primed...). But, the great news is that we got everything else done. Woohoo!!!

We got the paint a year ago, yes, you read correctly - a YEAR ago! There was a guy at work that knew a friend that was opening a paint shop. For an entire weekend, he could give away as much paint as he could mix. The good news is that we got about 15 gallons of paint, enough for all of the rooms upstairs and our bedroom downstairs. The bad news is that the paint is terrible (this might be an understatement) to use. So, instead of just priming and painting one coat, we got to prime and paint two coats. In the 100 degree heat, with limited air conditioning. (We have a window unit, but it just can't keep up when it's that hot out). So, it was quite a job. The good news now is that it's done and looks great. Below is a pic:

Now for some decorating... Finally...
