Making Progress: Workday 2

My parents came up to help us paint, and we are so glad that they did. 

Today was a whirlwind of primer, paint, putty, brushing, rolling, hole-filling and all things paint related.  Caleb and dad were able to get a lot finished and if all goes as planned, we'll be able to finish up the main painting projects tomorrow.  

Dad cut in the edges. 

Caleb rolled.

 

Silas' room.  The 'after' photo makes it look super dark, it's not really that dark though.  And, please ignore the curtains.  They belonged to the previous owners and they're coming down tomorrow.

Cabinet/window/trim priming time.

By 8:00 pm.  Border gone.  Wall color up.  Two coats of white on the cabinets/trim.  

What a mess!!

Oooh, look at that cute red door!  I love it.

Master bedroom.  Again, the photos don't really do the color justice.  I guess you'll just have to come visit to see how great it looks!

Also today we primed all the trim in the bathroom and painted the walls.  And Nella's room was painted, but it'll be re-painted with a different shade tomorrow.  It was not quite right.  Actually, not even close to being right.  It was a totally different color on the wall than the sample from the store.  Bizarre.  Anyway, here's the first attempt.

Because it wouldn't be right to post anything without including photos of our little punks . . .

Here's Nella eating a chocolate chip scone, or as she calls them, trock-late chip scums. 

And here's Silas just sittin' around lookin' cute.

Hopefully we'll get a lot more finished tomorrow and I'll get a chance to post more photos of our progress.
