The Painters are Coming! The Painters are Coming!



The Painters are coming tomorrow to prime our ceilings and walls! Thank you Jesus!


They are going to be here at 8:00 am and we've got to get this place ready for them. We are moving most of our stuff into the garage and then just covering up the larger pieces of furniture and electronics. I find it totally ironic that my husband insisted on having a cleaned out spotless garage and now I'm going to junk it up again!


I've been very lax with housework this summer because I have a mental block. Or I'm just bone lazy. Or both. With the kitchen a wreck from the fire and the walls and ceilings a striped gray and black mess, I've not really cared to keep everything looking good. But hopefully all of that is behind us and in about a week I will have everything back to normal. Then I can just be my normal lazy self without the mental block and without any good excuses anymore!
Can anyone guess what those color boxes are at the top?
Yep, those are the colors dear hubby picked out and since I'm eating crow because I started the fire, I will have to live with them! What do you think?

Annie Jones said...

I can see myself picking those colors. Which colors go in which rooms?

Nancy M. said...

The colors are pretty good. Earthy tones are nice. At least I hope you will like it.

Donna O. said...

Those are pretty! I would pick them. Actually, I think I tried and my husband vetoed them! Now, I have beige. :(

They look a lot lighter on the computer screen than they do in the bucket. I will definitely have pics to show when everything is done. Right now I feel like I'm living in a naked house with nothing pretty!

those would match the tile in my kitchen :) all of our walls are white until we get done completely with remodeling/ I would love some color!

the colors seem a little dark but they may look great.
So many of the beautiful rooms on HGTV are done in deep colors.
I hope you love them when it is all done.

Jess said...

they look like popular colors to me, something I would never pick because I am to afraid and I would love it one someone elses wall. Maybe you will start a trend and the rest of us will choose those colors too, I think you will like them once they are on the wall.


Did I miss the post on how the fire started in the first place?

before and after pictures? I'm glad that it's finally getting done. You've been so patient.
