Finally

Well, we finally got the living room, stairway and upstairs hallway painted. Thanks to my cousin, Joey and his wife Angie for helping! We are so happy with the way it turned out... here are the before pictures: Here we were painting... even the kids joined in. Good thing the walls needed 2 coats!Terry had to work afternoon shift, so he wasn't sure how much we had done. I think from the look on his face, he was pretty impressed! It took 2 coats of paint to completely cover the crappy white contractor's paint.

And FINALLY, the finished product!

Needless to say, we are SO glad that this is done! There are still some things left to hang along the stairway wall and in the upstairs hallway, but for the most part everything is done! We still have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to paint ... but after this job, that can wait till late Spring or early Summer!
