Painting Fools

Since we had a couple days with an empty house we decided to tackle our painting job and get the house looking like ours. I took the kids up Friday so I could tape the walls to be ready to start painting Saturday.

The first room we wanted to change was our dining/kitchen wall color, there was a deep burgundy and we wanted to lighten it up a bit.

 We picked out a light red color but when we opened up the pain can it came out looking a lot like pink!!

 John wanted to trust in the paint guys so I let it be and it did darken quite a bit after a second coat was dry but it still didn't turn out like I was wanting but we had other room to get done so we let is be for now.

 Katie picked out a light purple color and it looks really good, she did a great job helping paint her room.

 The boys room was blue but it was a bit of a baby color so we let the boys pick out a new color and they picked a deeper blue and it turned out really nice.

We all worked really hard and got the kitchen, dining room, Katie's room, the boys room, our room, and the bathroom all done in 2 days.  Painting is not very fun but we are sure glad that we got it all done and now we are ready for our stuff to arrive.
