Remodel!!!

Whewww! It took only one day, one long day. But we got almost all the painting done. There are very few touch ups that we have to do. Plus when they tear up carpet we are going to have to repaint the baseboards. The colors that we picked are Behr Paint: Raffia Cream and Brown Teepee. Then from Ralph Lauren: Zen Green. Raffia Cream went literally everywhere. Brown Teepee is our accent wall in the Master Bedroom. Zen Green is in Liam's Nursery. Here are some before and after pictures:


The first set is of Liam's room. You can't tell from the second picture but its a light light green.
If you ever get the chance to go in then you will be able to tell. The second set is of our Hallway.



This one is of our master bedroom and of the living area. Our master originally had a
blue floral wallpaper with a blue chair rail but we took it down before I took pictures.




My wonderful sister-in-law, Steph, was in charge of doing Liam's nursery. She instigated
the tradition for naming each Trimester of an expectant child in our family. She painted
each name on the wall before we went over with the roller brush. I really wish you could
see the color. Its so cute!


We will have cooler before and after pictures once the carpet and the laminate flooring comes in! I want to say thank you to our family! They came and helped us out so much, with out them it would have taken much much longer. They came in right before the Saturday session and finished just after the second session. So one allergic reaction, 4 frozen pizza's and one ear infection (sorry Lottie) later we have a brand new painted condo. Thank you Mom, Dad, Steph, Colleen, Lottie, Debbie, Barry and Ainsleigh.

Oh Phyllis was the first trimester, Xander was the second trimester. Remember I messed them up. So Phyllis the fetus was actually a zygote and Xander the Xygote was a fetus... That was my bad!!

oh how I wish I could paint the walls in my apartment. it seems to look great! I say seems because the fact I can see no green in Liam's room obviously means I am not getting the full color experience!
