Yesterday was sooo long as we cleaned, moved all the furniture into the center of each room, emptied the closets, then cleaned again all the spots where furniture was, and wiped down all the baseboards. it took about 8 hours to do the upstairs. The tv and curtain rods had to come off the walls, the beds were disassembled, it is some serious chaos up there.
We haven't done the downstairs yet (well it's clean but not the moving and second round cleaning), they are starting on the upper floor. I am SO excited to have colour in our home!
Last night we slept on the two sofas pushed together - of course hubby got the long sofa and I got the loveseat! I was so squashed all night. I don't think I got a wink of sleep. And tonight I'm teaching until 10pm... it will be a long day!

ReplyDeleteGetting your house painted must be so exciting. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd paint mine, but I guess I'll just live with builder white for a few more decades instead. :) Did you end up finding a good deal on the painting service? I remember you mentioning that the first place you contacted was going to charge you an arm and a leg..
just getting a house painted changes the whole look doesnt it?! I grew up with white walls so when I "grew" up I had to pain every single wall in my house. Thanks for letting us know about the giveaways! Im having a giveaway also..come check it out!
