Paint and Cabinets!

    We finally got the majority of the house painted and most of the cabinets up in the kitchen.  My visiting teacher and her family were looking for something they could do as a family service project and decided they would come help us out one afternoon.  They started by sweeping up all the leftover sheetrock dust and scraping up the big mud splatters. Then they hauled a bunch of garbage out to their truck to take to the dump for us. Then they even helped us finish priming so we could start the final painting. It was very much appreciated! Here are a few pictures I took over Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully someday our vacations will be spent doing something other than working on the house…

 

 Here is the living room after we just got done painting it. Sorry about all the spots on the camera, I think the lens must have been a little dusty.

And saving the best for last, no your eyes do not decieve you, yes the walls are orange! After all orange is my favorite color and I had to have at least one room in my house orange so I picked the room I figured Jake would use the least and asked if we could paint the laundry room orange. It is by far the most awesome laundry room ever. In case you were wondering the wall you can see with the window is darker and the rest are a little lighter (Behr brand aurora orange, and marmalade at Home Depot if you care). the white cabinets even it out so it is not overly strong. And yes if you couldn’t tell, I Love It!! Maybe this will make me want to do the laundry more often (or maybe not).
