Lights, Paint, Action!

We finally got to primer and paint. We broke down and bought a sprayer and Loren sprayed the house inside with primer and then two coats of paint.


Loren was covered in white paint after each painting session.

















The most difficult room to paint was the two story family room. We had to rent scaffolding for that room.


I did some faux painting in our bedroom and bathroom. It turned out pretty cool, but different than I imagined. It takes awhile to figure it out and by the time you do, you're done with the project. We also got our cabinets put in. They still have to put on the crown molding and toe kicks and glass in some doors, but they're mostly in. We got rustic maple in the laundry and upstairs and cherry in the kitchen and downstairs bath.
We also got most of the electrical fixtures put in. We'll probably have electrical hook up next week. Gas will get hooked up today. The heating guys and rough in plumbing should also be done this week. Although it'll be awhile until the fixture get in since we're doing that ourselves and we also need to get flooring and counters in first.












I painted the laundry room gray, but Loren says it's purple. The paint chip looked as grey as can be. I might paint it over. It's hard to see without any lights yet since there aren't any windows.














It was getting dark, but here are a couple of shots of the kitchen cabinets. This is just the wet bar and island. We're going to get a mini fridge and see if we can actually keep the wine rack stocked.
