The Painting Is Done!! :)

Yea!!! The painting is done!! We are so pleased with the colors and the way everything turned out! Thanks to the help from Josh and Stewart's family we were able to get the whole upstairs done with two coats and we have one coat on in the basement. I am hoping to get the second coat on this week. Now we are getting ready to put the tile down. When that is done then the cabinets will get put in, and then the carpet. We are getting so excited. The house is coming along smoothly and it looks great!!

This is the color in the master bedroom. It is hard to see here, but it is a soft blue. This color is also in the master bathroom.

This is the main color in the house. This color is in two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and basement. This color looks really good with the white trim.

This color is a soft green. It is on this wall and goes down the hallway.

This was a little scary. We had to get creative to find a way to paint the top of the wall. The extension rod we had for the rollers would get to the top, but to not get the tan on the ceiling we had to find a way to get the edger up there. So Stewart and Alan went and got this rail from outside from the guys who were putting the siding on the house, and used it to get to the top of the wall.

Here is Josh and Parker painting the laundry room. They got a lot done!!

Now the Painting begins

The painting was a success!!! Well spraying on the primer was. We finally got started on painting. We have spent the past week just getting the prep work done. We have been caulking and filling in the nail holes. Which took a very long time. Then we had to cover the windows and showers. That was a lot of work!!! Finally, yesterday we swept up all of the dust and busted out the spray gun!! It was nice to finally start painting. We feel like we acutally got something done!!

Now for the fun stuff!!

Stewart and I started painting this weekend. It was a lot of work. We started off with caulking all of the trim and then filling in all of the nail holes!! We worked all day Saturday and Sunday. On Wednesday we will start with the primer and then finally start doing the actual paint!!!!

Stewart is getting the caulking gun ready.

We are very pleased with how the trim turned out. This is how our windows and doors look with the trim.

Close up of the trim on the front door.

This is our WALK-IN closet. This closet, the pantry, and the garage are the things I look forward to the most!! :)

On Saturday Stewart suprised me flowers in the house!!!

One more pic:)

I couldn't fit this picture on the last post, so here it is. The house is lookin' good!!


As you can see we have the roof done, the exterior doors are in and the garage doors were installed the other day.

Here we go!

Finally here is an update on the house. As you can see the house is fully sheetrocked and taped. They should be starting on the texture this week and hopefully be done by early next week. After that, the trim will go up and then we will start painting!!!

Stewart is standing in the basement. We decided to finish the living room in the basement.

This is the living room up stairs.

This is the side of the kitchen were the stove, microwave, and dishwasher will go.

This is the dining room. The door goes to the backyard.

This is the master bedroom. We put in a tray ceiling. The door to the side goes to the hall way, and the other door goes into the master bath.

Another update on the house

The entire house is now closed in. The roof is complete minus the shingles (should be done early next week). The windows were installed on Friday and the plumbing is complete in the entire house. The showers and tubs were installed too. The heating and air will be installed next week along with the electrical. Then the drywall will be installed soon after the electrician is done. It is moving alot faster than we thought it would. We are so excited to finish and move in!!!


This a view from the street facing the front door. You can now see how the roof line is going to look. The living room is on the right and there is a bedroom on the left next to the garage.

This is another view from the street that obviously shows the garage. It is looking really good and we are VERY EXCITED to move in.

Lookin' Good!

The house is really coming along. You can now start to get a good idea of where the different rooms are and what it is going to look like. We are getting very excited. The other day we went and got the tile for the bathrooms and laundry room!! So way cool:)

This is the view from the backyard.

This is Stewart standing in the dining room.

This is the front of the house with the trusses. The house should be enclosed early this week and then the plumber, HVAC, and electrician will do their stuff.
