Ben's Blurb - Weekend Warriors UNITE!!

So this last Labor Day weekend was a busy one. We spent the entire weekend painting the inside of the house. It was a lot of hard work, but we are finally done! Sort of. We have all of the major areas of the house done. We still have 4 bedrooms and a bathroom to do. That will hopefully happen in the upcoming weeks. We did manage to paint the office, family room, living room, dining room, formal dining room, kitchen, hallway, stairway, 2nd floor landing, and also the entry area from floor to ceiling. Yikes. We did a pretty good job staying motivated through the weekend but there were some early mornings (for me) and some late nights!

It started at Home Depot on Friday night after work, then Saturday - I got up early and painted the office, then Andrea got up a bit later and we hit it really hard. We turned in after 11pm on Saturday night. Then Sunday we got up and did it all again. On Sunday we finished up at about 5pm. By then we were sore and exhausted. Monday we were free to do other house stuff.

Here are some pics of before and after

Hi Dorothy - the kitchen is actually spice and the other walls are Filbert and Mocha. But good eye for the Devine colors.
