We had keys to our new home for a few weeks now...so, we've jumped in and painted 5 of the 6 bedrooms! And...lots and lots of cleaning to prep for our move in tomorrow!!
Here are some action shots. :)
A fuzzy photo of Madeleine cleaning late on Thursday night with our "cleaning party" crew.
Jen Raybould going at it with the shop vac! (notice the crazy aqua color we experimented with for the family room color - yikes, way too 'under the sea' to keep. :)
Our first project for the house was painting the largest 3rd floor bedroom which we are calling the reading room. It was completely gray - even the ceiling! So...3 coats of paint later...it is a creamy yellow. :)
The art/sewing room on the 3rd floor was also a huge project - most especially the floor! Carpet, linoleum, tar paper and then f inally the beautiful wood floor! Erik and a friend did two evenings to work to get down to the bottom of it.
Madeleine and I painted Meredith's room a pale blue called 'stillness.' Isn't that a great title for the color of paint in a kid's room?! ;)
And, the color we did end up with for the family room is titled, 'lively yellow' - true to it's name it has a radiant color and the great natural light of four windows makes it a happy, sunny room. Can't wait to get some blue accents and curtains in there. :)
yes! cover up that country blue!
We also painted Madeleine's bedroom with 'creamy cucumber' a beautiful light blue-green shade. I'll have to get a photo of it after the move!
stay tuned...
