Painting our new home

Well we moved in Labor day weekend...the weekend we have a family reunion in heber so we were unable to go, and all our family was there too so we didnt really have much help with painting. Jesse and Sara came over expecting to help paint saturday and stay the night and go home sunday. Bless their hearts they stayed the WHOLE weekend and ever helped move all our things on Monday. They spent their whole weekend giving service to us. We are so thankful to them for that. There is no way i could have done it without them. They are the best! We got alot done...the two living spaces the loft upstairs and the hallway. I painted an accent wall a few days later that i will share in a diff post and the kitchen i am holding off until i feel like taping and painting and waiting and doing it all over again. The other rooms i have not yet entirely decided what i want in each one so the painting will continue when i have more time and more ideas. Good thing My couse in like 6 and a half feet tall otherwise i would have had to buy a ladder.

My dear husband found this "Awesome" couch in a thrift store in Sun City where all the old folks live. It is in very good condition and he really like it alot i will admit it is comfortable. I was complaining that it is dirty and someone prob died on it. He bought it for 75 and was off 1000 and he didnt take it!!! AHHH. So i just let him decorate the upstairs loft in his style. He is such a funny man. He really likes vintage things.

The difference in color from what it was before to now.

Of course louie is always a part of the fun

The entry way is very high up and with no scafulting there was no way we could reach much more than you see here.

I would do mainly the bottom and the top and corners with the little roller

hmmmm.

Before

This was the first wall we started on. Had literally no idea how it would turn out so we just sat and waited for it to dry.
