Our Spring Break Project

This was our wall...except for the writing before painting. Rob started making a to-do list of stuff we need to make the house marketable (with chalk)...so the kids joined in. (The white spots are where we removed a shelf and had to patch the screw holes.) Rob had to patch nicks, holes, cracks, etc all over the walls!

The kids went to my parents for Spring Break...and we were left to paint - the den/kitchen & the hallway (never been painted).

David is not known for his painting skills, but we let him help us prime (and we needed the help too! It took about three coats of prime on each wall in the den and kitchen!)

Rob dealing with the blasted blue walls...I love bold colors, but I think I may supress my desire in the future - they were awful to prime over!

Will came up with a way to do the high spots...scaring you yet Mom? Don't worry - we're done and he's alive still. (Man, I hope our "next house" does not have high ceilings...why do people want them?)

Sorry, no pictures of me painting...I took all these. I spent almost all day yesterday painting the kitchen.  We primed for 2 nights and I was determined we would do all the painting last night, so I did almost the entire kitchen yesterday while Rob and Will were at work so that painting in 1 night would be possible...and we did it! yea! (oh, I hope we're done, but I fear our room may need a coat...at least it won't need priming! I hate priming!) :)

Oh, we'll post before and after pictures later. We don't have after ones yet b/c there are still some things to put back in the den and I can't put up my art/pictures until Mom comes to help.
