House Paint and Carpet Done!!!!

Yeah!!!! After 5 weeks of chaos the painting and carpet are done! We painted Brynley's room first, painting it (princess) yellow. Braden's room was next, painting it (transformer) blue. The bathroom was next painting it a light green. We also upgraded the mirror in the bathroom to huge!! Our room was next, painting it a color called mortality. Scott says it looks like chocolate milk. I like it alot, but I really like chocolate milk. The next was the hall, front room, and kitchen all in the same color all in one day. Whewww, what a project. Especially all the taping, and taking off all the light switch and plug covers. We even took down Scott's 80 lb. T.V. and the rack it is up on, so we could "do it right". That day was about 12 hours of painting. Scott did the edging and I did the rolling of the paint. Let me say I was beyond sore the next few days.

Next came the taking out of the old carpet. Let me just say disgusting!! Thank you to my friend who let me use her shop vac to get up all the dirt. Lots and lots of dirt! And then finally, the new carpet. Which is by the way what started this whole project. I wanted new carpet. But since our paint was the original paint and the studs and nails were showing through the wall, we thought it would be easier to paint without having to worry about the carpet.

Some pictures....

After the carpet was installed!! YEAH!!!!!!!

I don't want to use a paint roller for years!

Now I just have to get the pictures back on the walls and window treatments up.

We'll see how that goes!!
