Wanted: A Professional Painter
I just about have finished painting the upstairs inside front of the house.
I learned a couple of lessons.
1. Hire a pro to do it next time. (It about killed me off) considering I am working part time and had to fit painting in after work.
2. Be thankful for a Son in Law who so generously used his talents to repair the cracked ceilings and door ways. (Thanks Wally for giving up you weekend to fix and patch for me)
3. Always have your sisters help you hang the pictures. Because with all the differing opinions, tape measures and levels someone will be right.
4. Always buy the paint samples. If I would have painted what I originally had planned it would have been really ugly. It payed off the experiment with the actual cup full of paint (available at Home Depot).
I wish I had before and after pictures. But for those who are familiar with the house you will see the difference.
See if you can pick them out.
Some of the differences are. 1. Paint Color
2. New side light in the front door (no more Gold plexiglass)
3. No draperies.
4. Cupboards moved and painted in the Laundry Room.
Heidi hosted a party at her house. I forgot to take pictures. But here is a picture of the grandkids with Great Grandma Colleen and Grandpa Hardman.
Here are some more pictures of my cute grand kids.
Cole loved feeding the horses the corn.
Lets all take time to giggle like Avery.
Love to all of you.

The house looks great! Nice work!
I also like the color. Nice. Jenny and I are sure there is an articuable reason why all the walls are not the same color, but we don't know it. Jenny thinks it is a accent wall. She's probably right. I think it may have something to do with not wanting to do the stairs...
LOVE it~! I can hardly wait to come see the laundry room in person. You are such a hard worker, I think you deserve a break for a little while... maybe we should go up to logan on saturday or something... what do you think? Also, I LOVE the picture of serena eating the corn on the cobb! Also, Little does Isaac know that you actually did pain the stairs, Jenny was right, it is an accent wall.
Your hard work paid off...Your home looks beautiful. Brenda might know some painters from when she had her home done.
Love the updates! The house looks great! Can't wait to come over and see it!
