Step 1: Paint

Well, today began bright and early. Now, 7 rooms later, 3 trips to the paint store, 8 rollers, and a new ceiling fan later, everything is pretty much done! I had a lot of help from family and friends today, and without them, this project would have taken sooooo much longer. Words can not describe how thankful and happy I am that all the painting is done (wellll... for the most part). We lost our light which forced my friend Abby and I to abandon the work in my bedroom... which was fine because I was on hour 11 of painting at that point. However, that is the sweaty pride of ownership! I am so excited that this journey is underway and so far the transformation is amazing! The stark cold walls have been warmed up everywhere. The kitchen, living room and dining room have all been warmed up with a light beige color. Sand Dollar from Sherwin Williams to be exact. The color is perfect and makes the place feel more like a home. Upstairs saw the most color change with the bathroom, closet and master bedroom. Having lived in an apartment for 3 years with whiter than white walls, this is a nice change of pace. Here are some pictures to show the progress... (im going on 13 hours of straight painting and standing so forgive me on the short post tonight). Master Bathroom (Aquaduct by Sherwin Willams) LOVE this color! Progress on the living room Closet done!! It's PINK! Master Bedroom Abby and Mel hard at work! I couldn't wait to pop some champange to celebrate the last two days.... .... but I had a hard time getting it open. I did get it thougn, eventually :) I arrived at my place around 9am and left close to 10pm. It was a long long day, but that champange, family and friends made it so amazing! Love to them all!!
