The Summer of Paint, the last installment.

The last room I painted was the dining room.  Mom and dad helped get the first coat of paint on the trim.  I was left to do the second coat and the walls on my own. Painting sure takes a lot longer when you are on your own.  I worked one day while the twins were gone on summer field trip with school and Ethan was at daycare. I didn't get nearly as much done as I had planned.  So David took the boys out for breakfast and to the park on Saturday so I could finish.

Before

After

The yellow turned out a little brighter than I had hoped.  I am still searching for curtains.  After we get curtains, I will decide what color to paint the light grey poles.  

To aid in picking out colors for the walls, I used valspar paints website where I could upload a picture of the room and then paint the walls with different colors.  While it wasn't exact it did help us get an idea of what the room would look like.

We are very excited about how it all turned out.  I have been having a good time shopping for accessories to help put the finishing touches in the rooms.  

While all that painting kept me busy (notice I didn't mention David in any of the painting!) we still had plenty of other adventures this summer.  Hopefully more posts will be coming soon.
