even an old barn looks better painted

or, how to spend the most wickedly awesome 4th of July ever, complete without purchasing one little iota of fireworks. I love the possible titles for this post. Yep, we know how to have a good time! Seriously though...our house has been in bad need of a paint job, so we finally got with it over the weekend. And much to our boys disappointment, I totally forgot to invest in any fireworks. (We did however, head over to the neighbors house to enjoy some very good ones and went to the community fireworks display, so I'm not feeling that bad!)
Love the frog tape. Love the high ceilings, but hate trying to get up there!

Gotta love the dissheveled mess that a paint project makes.
We love the new color and it turned out well. We still have half the trim to paint and the doors, but getting all the walls AND ceiling done was a huge improvement!

I want to come see the finished project.
We are in the same desperate need to paint. So far we've gotten the hall done, which Ben colored red marker all over.

Love the color!! Very warm and inviting and rich looking.

Hurricane - I pledged my undying love to Mr. Clean Magic Erasers long ago. They remove permanent marker from almost anything.
