Painting

If you have been to our house in the last year you have seen one of 2 phases of our painting. The first phase was paint samples hanging on the wall. People would come in and give their opinion on what they thought looked good. After about 3 months on the wall we took them down and consulted some interior designers (it was actually a service we bid on and won at the Interlake Auction). Once we got their input we picked some paint and Brad painted some samples on the walls. We loved the color in our living room but weren't so fond of the color picked for our kitchen.

This was the first color we picked. It looked good at night but when the morning sun came in it would turn pink. I'm not a big fan of pink.



So for the past 6 months we have had our walls semi painted. Brad finally had some time and energy to work on our kitchen. Part of the process was picking a new color and going with it (instead of trying to find the perfect color). Brad has worked really hard to finish our kitchen and we are excited that it is done.




The best part was having Brody as our little helper and encourager. He would say things like "Good job painting, Dad!" "Wow, I like your drawing." How can you stop painting when you have someone encouraging you like that?



Now we can check this task of our "to do" list.
