Painting Our House

Welcome to the house that Prince would call beautiful....seriously, though...this place was waaaay too purple for us. Luckily, Dan and Tammy drove up here to help us de-purple it. It took a lot of work!!

Here's what the living room looked like before painting:


And it's going........
going................
GONE!!
The finished product...now isn't that nice? It's not that I don't like color on my walls, I guess I just tend to want colors that don't burn your retina.After we painted the living room the dining room looked absolutely neon...you can see the beautiful lilac color in this picture.....we decided that it had to go, too.
And it looked so fabulous after we had painted it that we had to stain the wainscoting....doesn't it look nice?
We were so grateful that Dan and Tammy were here to help. Not only did we get the living room and dining room done, but we painted the nursery and cleaned everything. They helped us get it pretty much ready to move stuff in...and there is no way Brian and I could have done it ourselves in that amount of time! Thanks guys!!! We are moving our stuff in this Saturday, and we are so excited! Brian and I spent the last few days finishing up our fancy paint job in the nursery and moving over whatever would fit in our car. I can't wait to live in our new place!
