The New House

First off, I must admit that it is kind of nice being "exempt" from certain household tasks like moving heavy boxes/furniture, painting, etc.  This past weekend Stuart has facilitated the job of painting almost every room in the house (after you see the pictures below, you will see why) and I got to escape to my parents to be away from paint fumes.  It is also helpful to escape to Internet, since we don't have Internet service in our area (I promise we are not in the country).

I snapped a few "before" pictures on my way out the door on Friday, to make sure we can look back and see how far we have come. 

Yes, this is apple WALL PAPER.  That is now in the trash...

Crooked plate rack is gone...

All of the trim in the kitchen is this color, which doesn't even match the wallpaper.  It is now gone.



Our most prized possession in the house.  (NOT).  Yes, this is actually painted in the foyer and will soon be painted over.  Don't worry, we won't have a dog painted on the new wall.



 

Mural #2.  This is in the guest bathroom.  It will be going as well.





 



So as you can see, we SJB has his work cut out for him.  We are waiting to paint the two upstairs bedrooms after we find out what Baby B will be, so at least we have another month or so to choose colors.  Hopefully, Toby (the dog in the foyer mural) will not come back to haunt us:)
