Paint!

Marty had last week off from work. It was so nice to have him home! We had originally planned to take this week off to visit family and friends in Arizona. But with gas prices being outrageous and me still feeling sick, we decided to stay home. Sorry, Bonnie & Dave and Tren & Ashley, we didn't make it yet again! Hopefully one day!

Instead we worked on our house. We have plans to change our flooring around a bit in our kitchen and dining area, but didn't get it figured out in time to do that this week. So instead we painted! It's amazing how much a little paint can totally change a room. Brooklyn was a good sport about her house being in disarray, but she even got in on the action a bit. She liked the ladders the best and we would often find her at the top of the them (including the 14 foot ladder!). I never saw this, but it frightened Marty a bit!

I thought we would show you some of our changes. First you must understand our house has mostly white walls so any color is a good change. We've been meaning to paint and do changes for some time, but there's always been another expense holding us back. Finally we had the opportunity so here's what we did!

This is in our dining room. We just painted one wall this color.
This is our main bathroom. The previous owners of this house had some wallpaper border that I've disliked since we moved in. The new look to this bathroom made me the happiest! It might be how cute the shower curtain is, but it's hard to tell!

This is our master bathroom. It's so tiny and it was so white that it would blind us in the morning. So Marty thought it would be fun to make it half black. Yes, black! We now call it our "retro bathroom". It's much easier on the eyes now.

This is the master bedroom. We painted it all a basic tan color, but it really looks nice. Plus, it actually darkens the room up a bit at night and in the early morning. It's amazing what a little paint can do!
