Painting

Well, I'm finally getting around to a post I promised! A couple of months ago now, my in-laws were here visiting and my mother-in-law helped me paint my kitchen and one wall in my living room. It looks so nice and I'm very happy with how it all turned out. The kitchen took way longer than I though it would, though! There's lots of small areas that have to be handpainted instead of rolled on, so that took longer. We worked on it for two days. Now, I just need to start working on repainting some of my cupboards and drawers. Maybe this summer.


Here's a before picture, so you can see what color paint I had before.

Here's what it looks like now.

This is the wall by our eating area.

Here's the living room wall.

The pictures really don't do the paint justice, since you can't really tell what the true color is. The paint in the living room almost looks the same in the pictures as the kitchen, but it's really quite a bit darker.

Well, I do have a ton of cute pictures of my kids I could post, but I'll just have to try and post them later. We just got back from a trip to Seattle yesterday and I threw up twice yesterday on the way home. I still don't feel 100%, I feel really weak and food doesn't settle in my tummy very well, but I'm hungry! I need to get another belly picture taken before this baby comes. I haven't been doing very good about that this time. It's starting to seem more and more real that there's going to be another baby around here in a month or so. I'm so ready to be done with being pregnant!!!

Beautiful walls! I like the color in the living room best. :) I hope you feel better soon.

Sorry you've been having such a rough time! That is a very pretty paint color in both rooms!

Wow the paint looks great! I hope you still like it after the baby is born. My taste in home decor always changed during pregnancy and then again after..but then again I am a bit of a nut!
