We will be moving next Sunday to our new place. We spent all weekend painting and still have more to do. Don and his dad replaced some light fixtures and patched some drywall. Dakota finished painting her room - Peacock Blue, and yes, it is as bright as it sounds but looks nice. Desiree is painting her room an almost neon green and blue. I think it looks great too. Our office and the rec room are now both a lovely warm shade of yellow with white trim. That's a big improvement over nondescript green, pink and putty.
The owners are putting carpet downstairs today so we had to get all the painting in the downstairs finished. We painted the ceiling in the rec room and it took almost all day to do it. It has that strange popcorn-like finish which makes it next to impossible to paint. We were going to rent a sprayer but ran out of time so just did the best we could with a big, big roller. It's definitely an improvement.
Today I did the first coat on the main bathroom. We will have to finish it tonight. It doesn't look like Don and I will have time to start our bedroom but it's fine as is. The owners had painted the whole house, we were just looking to change the colors a bit.
Calum has been a really patient boy. We've had numerous trips the hardware store. He has been shuttled back and forth between the old house and the new house. He has had to take long walks with grandma and eat pizza from a box. He even had the first nap in the new house, on a sleeping bag. It will be nice to get this move behind us!
