We are basically finished painting. Thanks, Dad!
Here's a photo of Silas' room. I think the one I posted yesterday looked super dark and weird. I just can't have anyone thinking a picked out a disgusting color for my son's room!
And remember the green paint mishap? Fixed. Isn't that green MUCH better? I had the dudes at Sherwin Williams match another company's green.
No shutters. Notice that red door? I reaaaallllly love a good red door!
So happy and lovely!
Anyway, back to the shutters . . .
They were a filthy, faded, icky green.
My mom washed 'em up with TSP.
Oh, see our garage? It opens on both sides. We have access to it from the street and from an alley behind our house. Pretty cool, and handy too. Anyway, back to the shutters . . .
The men figured out the power sprayer. 10 minutes later the shutters were finished!
Another 10 minutes and they were dry and ready to go back on the house.
And I forgot to take an 'after' photo of the house with black shutters and red door. Tomorrow, friends. Tomorrow. While the men worked on shutters, I started scrubbing the wood floor that was covered by nasty carpet. As usual, Nella 'helped.'
Then the men put the final coats of white on the cabinets/trim in the kitchen. It's lookin' good! I'll take some real 'after' photos tomorrow after I clean the junk out of there.
The wall color is also Sherwin Williams Comfort Gray, just like in the master bedroom. It's pretty much my favorite paint color right now. We used it in the bathroom too (photos later).
Later, my mom drove Nana's Nap Tram. Not the healthiest way for the kiddos to nap, I'm sure. But they're always so keyed up when Nana & Pawpaw come to town, any sleep is better than none!
A HUGE thanks to Mom and Dad Sipe for helping us paint. We honestly couldn't have done it without you. Mom, you're the best baby-wrangler around. And Dad, well, you actually ARE a professional painter. Lucky us! ;) We love you!
Next weekend we get Mom and Dad Billingsley for more baby-wrangling and project completing! Are we blessed or what?
PS I was not compensated for plugging Sherwin Williams paint. But hey, if you're a rep reading this blog, you can send me a check. Or a certificate for some free paint. Or a t-shirt?
No, really, we just used it because my Dad said to. And we do what my dad says. He knows everything; especially about paint.

We chose a very similar color to the Comfort Gray for our living room. I love it.
Also, Dad Sipe has large forearms.
The end.
You have picked the best paint colors. I am so amazed at what alittle paint has already done to your new home.
Thanks for letting us take this journey with you!
Wow...it's looking great, Keli! I love a great red front door, too. It's so cheerful yet inviting. I really like the color Comfort Gray you chose. I might just have to use it in our next house.
