Pretty Things

So, the moment arrived. We finally picked out and bought a kitchen table. The whole time we have been married, we have never had a table to eat our meals at. This makes us big kids now. It is counter top height so Herman can't easily reach our food. It has made a difference. I can't tell you how many times he has licked my dinner.

Too bad we still have several rooms with little to no furniture.

A Three Day Weekend of Painting

This weekend we finally got around to painting the foyer and dining room. They are a horrid shade of orange. Those of you who have been privileged to see the fug know.

A before picture.


It took THREE coats of primer just to cover the ugly orange. I have never hated orange more in my life.



Sunday we finally got to put the real paint on. It's a light beige-white. It's the base color of the house. It has been so dark in here we needed to lighten it up.


The dog was covered in paint. More so than us. There was paint on his feet, chest, nose, butt and tummy.

We were super tired after two long days. Thankfully, Taylor came to help us Sunday.

There is still orange in the hallway. That will have to be another day. I was pretty sore Monday after all of that.
