Paint Finished

Our house has been a work in progress.... always something to do something to fix or something to decorate.
When we moved into our home it was a nasty yellow color and i hated it.... the plan was to have my "brother" paint my house.... but it makes it hard when he lives in Utah and I need Help in New Mexico. I started going through a phase where i didn't like my house anymore.... and it was because it felt dirty... when we moved in the walls and floor boards were a nasty yellow cream color and the paint was a flat finish... so everything seemed dull and dingy.
So Drew and I took on the challenge of painting our house by ourselves.... Drew painted the very high walls while i painted where the "normal" ladder went and floor boards.
Our whole house is now a beautiful taupe color and I LOVE IT!!!!

This is Zac's room. When we moved in it was a deep navy blue and a horrible paint job. There was paint everywhere!!!! We now call this the Chocolate milk room (thats the color of his walls) with navy blue and dark red decorations.... i still have decorating to do, but Ashley will move into this bedroom in a year or so.... so i will wait and decorate it for her when it is time.... as for now this is all the decorating he gets!
This is the girls room.... it is a huge room and fits bunk beds really well (the boys will move into this room when Taylor moves into a big boy bed).... as for now the girls share. This room was also the nasty yellow everywhere, floor boards and all.... now it is a pretty purple with white decorations.
This is another view of the girls room. This is from the halls entrance into their room.
This is the Loft.... was painted a maroon color and was all over the floor boards too. I got a Terra-Cotta color and I love it.... this room is the kids TV/game room.
This is another view of Zac's room.... we need new blinds in all the kids rooms but that is further down the replacement list :)
This is my front door.... I LOVE my front door!!!! now that it's a different color it makes my whole house feel so different and makes me happy!
This room is for now a sitting room, we want to make it into a library but i need to find a book case for my dad to make us and i'm having a hard time finding the "right" one. This is the room where we go for quiet.... either to read nap or just time out :)
This is another view of the same room.... it is the same color as the rest of the house but i painted one wall and the over hang a eggplant purple..... it has turned out to be one of my favorite rooms.
This is the family room it is all painted... new blinds on the high windows that we never use and my wall is no longer that nasty purplish brown color :) and i painted my fireplace the same green as my front door.

This is another view of the loft.... when we moved in the door was not there it was a window.... we ended up putting in a door and building a deck. And this is where i attempt to exercise while watching my shows :)

So we have done a lot to our house making it into a home.... we still have a few more things to do... my room needs new paint and decorations and Taylor's room needs to be done (Hailey's soon to be new room). and the majority of the house still needs to be decorated.... little by little. But it's coming along :)
