color, color on the wall


After 5 long months we have finished all the painting in the new house!!! I never realized how many walls we had until we began priming... then there's the first coat of color... then the ole second coat... and of course the very slow and tedious job of cutting in (which by the way we discovered we have several INCREDIBLE "cutting inners" in the fam! e.g. jessi and josh :) The rest of us are perfectly satisfied using our painting skills with large rollers and spacious walls:)

















The priming stage...







dad hangin another light :)
Finally some color:)



























i love this wall... the real name is Edwardian Burgandy but we like to call it the great wall of chocolate. :)
Johnny boy priming the ceiling... if that doesn't put a crick in your neck! haha



















Mom always workin so hard:)















Thank you Andrew and Rebecca for all your help!!! You guys did so much...even in the freezing cold! We are SO thankful for such serving friends. We Love You!















































this is the game room. OH YEEE!











Jordan, Justin, and JJ's room


Josh and Johnny's room aka the brightest room in the house!







the girls room :)






Once again I am amazed at my family's extreme diligence and accomplishments... GREAT JOB GUYS!!! I know all of this hard work will soon pay off!
So, we have begun to
pack away the cans upon cans of paint, the brushes, the rollers, the pans, the can openers, the stir sticks... and now...
FLOORS ARE COMING SOON!!
HOOORAY! :)
