Gone Painting

This last weekend, Jared and I got the great idea to paint our house!!! We have wanted to do it for a VERY long time, but it finally came to pass this last weekend, since it was a long and Jared would be home to help!! Both us have been very tired of the white walls. Especially ours because I have NO decorations up! Friday we went and picked up the paint and supplies and then got going on Saturday morning. We painted the dining room, family room, hallway, and entryway. I LOVED the color I picked. How many of you pick the color you want and then when you paint it ends up being a different color, maybe a little too dark? I found a perfect solution that has worked for me. I find the color I like and then when they are mixing it up, I have them do it half formula. It ends up being exactly the color I wanted and not too dark!!! Try it next time!!

Anyway, we got up Monday and finished painting one wall downstairs and the office. We then ran out of paint and in a couple of weeks, when we get more time, we will finishing painting the kitchen and the other wall going downstairs. Pictures will come, but I have to figure out where to hang my stuff again. Rearranging and all that!!
