Paint, Paint, Paint!

This is what our living room looked like before we started painting.
My mom thought the color looked like the bottom of a swimming pool.

Andrew and Tyler working hard.

My Uncle Brian and Aunt Yolanda were so nice to come and help.
Brian got all of the really tough spots. (That ladder is on the stairs)

My mom and dad really helped a lot!
Thanks again everyone who helped out.
It made the daunting job much less daunting.

Since we finished painting, Tyler and I (well mostly me) have been having fun decorating. It's much more fun to decorate when you have you're own home to decorate in rather that an apartment, which is all we've have had till now. We have a lot of projects we're going to try to get to this Summer. Unfortunately we won't be able to put in a sprinkler system and lawn until next Summer because of money, but there are plenty of other projects to keep us busy. I think our next purchase will be a grill, so we can invited friends and family up for a housewarming BBQ!
I couldn't fit all the pics in one entry so below are pics of what the paint looks like now.

The paint transformation!

This is what are place looks like after the many hours of painting.
We're a little bit more afraid of color than the previous owners.

The new paint color actually goes pretty well with our
cabinets.

We had to buy a new fridge because the owners took theirs.
The salesman at RCwilley really knew how to upsale us. (We're idiots)

We bought a new table and bench at Target for a steal of
a deal, because they were trying to get rid of them so they could put
their spring stuff out. Now we just have to find some good chairs to match.

Here's just another view of the living room. As you can probably tell, I
only have this half of the living room decorated. We haven't moved our
couch up yet but as soon as we move the rest of our stuff I'll show the other
half of the room.
