New Paint

Last weekend one of my very best friends and her daughter spent the weekend at my house and helped me paint one of my recently vacated rooms. I wasn't thinking so I didn't get any before shots, but if you look at one of my previous posts with the pictures of Cody and the kids the day he left to head back to Hawaii, it's the color in the background--earthen mud--hideous and had to go!
We started Friday night with Chinese food and a relaxing evening just hanging out gossiping with out coffee on the couch. Then bright and early Saturday morning with Dunkin Donuts in hand we got to work. We stopped for lunch around 11-11:30--I love that Pappa Gino's delivers :) And then right back to work! We were all done, clean up and room put back together by 4:30-5:00. Jamie and Lele packed up the car and headed home and I finished cleaning and decorating my new room. I love how bright and cheery it is now, instead of dark and gloomy--I just love it! Thank you Jamie so much for helping me, there is no way I would have been able to do this without you! You're the best!!!! I love you!!

So here are a couple after pictures-


That's Gage playing the Wii (which by the way we all love)
I still need to put more things on the walls, but it's a start.


Behind that door is a bathroom, which we also painted
I couldn't take a picture at the time because Skyler was in there, lol.
Isn't is just so bright and shiny? lol
