Let the painting begin!!!

Well, the adventure is underway and things are crazy as ever.  Over Labor Day weekend we took advantage of the paint sales, rebates, and some FREE gift cards I earned through MyPoints and bought 10 gallons of COLOR for our walls.  On Wednesday, September 22nd we got the keys and started to clean and work.  We hired a paint contractor to come out and paint the main space since it is crazy big and super high ceilings.  It looks awesome.  The last week or so I have been busy painting too!  Here is where we are at...

(I am going to have to add the main living space photos tomorrow as i realized I don't have any after photos of those rooms on my camera.)



S's ROOM

Daughter S was very involved in selecting colors.  Of course she wanted all pink but we were able to convince her to add some green.  Her white furniture should look great in here.  She also got a new ceiling fan to replace make up for the missing light fixture in this room.

Z's ROOM

Son Z was also involved in color selection with a bunch of help from Mom & Dad.  He is getting a NEW bed and some fun new accessories too!  He also got a new ceiling fan to replace make up for the missing light fixture in this room.

OFFICE

Right now, this is our FAVORITE color we have selected. 

We will have ALOT of blue rooms, but we love blue!

POWDER ROOM

Confession - this paint was selected because there was a gallon of it on the "mis-mixed" cart at Home Depot and was half price.  We also removed the boring builder mirror and added a great framed mirror I found at Fry's for just $8.99.  I want to add some more chocolate and green accents to warm this room up a bit more.

LAUNDRY ROOM

before

(almost) after

This is the same blue as the powder room.  We also removed one section of the cabinetry so that we could put our upright freezer in here as well.  We will also create a mudroom space in here to hang coats, backpacks and drop shoes since this is the first room just off the garage.

So, there is round one.  Can't wait to actually put furniture in these rooms, accessorize and share some of the fun decor projects I am working on to make this house our very own!
