Indoor painting done!

After 6 days, we're done with the living room! We convinced ourselves that we've gotten more efficient at the process, but it still took us almost a week to finish a room. Given, we had to repair some walls, and it was a big room -- we finished the trim last night at midnight - so much of it! By 11pm we were so delirious we began questioning our color decisions.

The kitchen and dining room are so bright with fresh colors, we were getting worried that the neutral tone of the off-white and the dark of the chocolate brown were going to be downers. Cait had chosen a lime green as an accent that we didn't add until this morning. That final burst of brightness saves the room from the complete lack of color.

Our basement got a minor facelift too this week. All five of the windows were replaced with glass block windows. The basement is enormously less creepy then it was a few months ago. Light pours through all day long and when you're down there the blocks look like shimmering ice cubes. So much more enjoyable then the rotting wood, rusty metal, grody glass we had before.

So - a bunch of pictures to enjoy!
