Weekend 15: paint, trim, generous friends

Where to start?

Friday we picked out paint colors (with the help of Christina's Mom, Barbara). Here is what we choose (colors vary by computer screen):

From left to right, the colors are for the living room (beige), office & bathroom (green), kitchen area (this color is not as pink, but more orange or brick-like), front room (blue) and bedroom ('latte').

Saturday we were up bright and early. We had help on Saturday from Christina's parents Mark & Barbara. Saturday we:
- finished the texture in the front bedroom
- finished the drywall prep in the living room
- primed the master bedroom and office!

Here are some photos of Saturday.

Mark & Barbara - painting (and cleaning) pros!

And here is Eric flipping pizza dough for lunch.


Sunday we accomplished:
- fully painting the master bedroom and office ('latte' and 'cypress' respectively).
- purchased trim & started putting the trim up
- primed the front bedroom

A HUGE thanks to our very generous friends:
Jim (who brought fancy tools for the trim)
,
Kate , Heather & Nick.

Here is the crown molding (primed, but not yet painted):

Below is Eric painting a second coat in the master bedroom, and the master bedroom fully painted:



Below is the office fully painted. Trim will be installed, so we did not need to paint right up to the ceiling. We are doing a floor trim, trim around the doors and windows and crown molding.


Here is a photo looking out from the front bedroom. We took down the old paneling around the fireplace and will put fresh drywall around the existing structure.



We heart our friends and family!
