Painting Continues

On Saturday my parents came to town to help Kyle and I paint the dining room and living room/kitchen. We painted for most of the day on Saturday and then Kyle and I finished on Sunday at 3pm. We only have one more room to go and we'll be satisfied with the paint colors for at least a few months.

In the dining room we decided to go with mochaccino, a nice brown color and a red stripe for an accent. Kyle's aunt got us a Bed Bath and Beyond gift card and we found these 2 awesome win prints that matched perfectly. Here is the room all put together.



In the kitchen and living room we decided to extend the tan color. Which by the way is a great color for me because when I got the paint on my skin it matched. This room was a lot of trim....glad it is done.

House Update

Last weekend was busy... On Friday we finally had time to plant the flowers that Kyle's mom gave us and some we bought. On Saturday Jason came over and helped us paint the living room. Kyle's sister picked out the paint and we love it. I never thought I would have the courage to paint the walls brown, but it looks awesome. Instead of putting in a chair rail we painted a dark brown stripe in the middle. Kyle is out of town for a week starting Thursday, so I am sure this weekend will be a little less productive.
Our welcome back to school event is on Sunday and then starts the craziness of students on campus. For the next few weeks it will be crazy at work. I am counting down the days until Labor Day when we get a three day weekend.
