We got excited and started painting. Literally the day we closed on the house we went to lunch and then went to Lowes and then picked up our keys from the sales office. Sophie had a sitter for the day and Andre had work off, so it we figured it was our best chance before filling the house with furniture. 2 weeks later we finally finished. Its definitely not perfect, and could use a little (a lot) of touching up, but we'll live with it for a while.a We just really wanted to get the living room the way we wanted it. Some of you know we were going for a light, neutral gray for the walls, but we got light blue walls instead. That's okay though, it still works. We were a little over zealous I guess. We completely did not estimate time for taping off all those base boards or the annoying rounded corners. They look nice and are a little safer for kids I guess, but they are not fun to paint. That's where most of the mistakes are, but we are happy to have it semi-finished for now. Here are some pics of the completed project. I finally got to put a few things up on the walls and in the book shelves. There is still a lot I'd like to do, but patience will be required.

ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your blog via 6th Street Design School. We are planning on buying a home in Daybreak by the end of this summer and can't wait! Watching your progress gets me excited about starting the process on our end. We are still debating between builders, Sego, Rainey, or Holmes. Sego is more in our price range. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I hope you upload pictures of each room soon! Can't wait to see the finished product.
