Painting and moving in

Our House already looks 100% better than it did when we bought it and all due to a LOT of paint. :)

This is our Master bathroom which we plan to paint as soon as everything else is painted downstairs.

We have a huge Pantry! Living in the rental house that did not have a pantry I am extremely grateful that we found a house with a walk in pantry.

The front of the oven door was broken when we bought the place so we (Shawn) had to install a new front plate. Sorry no picture of his job well done yet, I forgot to take that picture.

Mark called us everyday to see when he could come over and help us move or paint. He was such a big help :) Terry even brought us food over a few night while we were painting :) We are so very very grateful.

Mark also installed our touch Faucet that is so freaking amazing.

I was the taper for the house cause no one else wanted to do it. Thankfully it got me out of doing the paint rolling part of the process which I hate. We had to push the carpet down with tape so we could paint the baseboards.

The baseboards used to be a off-white color and were filthy. The bright white color we painted the baseboards looks great against the other walls.

There were chips in the drywall on a lot of the corners in the house so we had to go through and fix them all before we painted. Shawn did a great job with the spray texture. You cant even tell that there was an issue now that it is painted.

Mark taking down the blinds so we can paint the wall.

Terry fixing all the white spots from Marks paint job ;) The color we used was Kelly Moores Brookside.

Shawn painting the Dining room, which we painted a darker grey (Kelly Moore Diamond Heights) than the rest of the house.

The light grey (Kelly Moore Silver Queen) is going up in the living room :)

I am so happy with the colors that I chose ..and Shawn agreed on ;)

Starting on the Family room.

The girls were so happy to have a big backyard to run around in.

Cora was probably feeling sick right then and I didnt even know :(

The grey against the blue looks even better in person.

Shawn had worked a full day with his dad and moved all our stuff and was feeling a bit tired. Thanks love for all you do.

Jenae is getting the white spots that were missed.

Breakfast area is at least started...

Our TV looks so small in the nook... I wish that the nook was 6 inches bigger. If it was we could use the beautiful entertainment stand that Shawn built from scratch. He will have to build us something new for this spot now.

I painted the fireplace mantle the same color as the baseboards and now I dont even mind the fireplace... I actually kinda like it :)

We realized something was wrong with poor Cora and took her temperature.. poor baby was running a 104.9 fever. When the carpet cleaners came Shawn had to pull her up just to get her to move into the other room.

The living room look pretty dang good with all the furniture in it. Shawns fish tank stand isnt finished yet but it is going to probably be black and then we are going to eventually put a tv on the entertainment stand (and put the drawers in lol).

Emma followed me around while I took pictures. She is a handful but is well worth it.

I am so glad the the color of the sofas went well with the fireplace and grey walls :) (need a big tv..and a stand that is not ghetto hah)

The kitchen is not all painted yet but at least the fridge is in.

I love that our doors are all super tall. It makes me feel tiny and Shawn look normal sized.

Breakfast area.

This is the garage hallway. To the right is a door to the laundry room and straight ahead is the bonus room. Now we need to get a washer and dryer..

We have been sleeping in the bonus room so that we can paint the master before moving everything in. Shawn is still in bed cause we had to take Cora to the hospital at 1:00am
