Quietude

A week or two after coming back from vacation Mitch and I got a wild hair. We have really been talking about how the inside of the whole house needs to be repainted, it looks terrible with that cheap builders grade paint that scuffs up and you can't clean. We actually acted upon all the talking and decided that we were going to paint the kitchen and entrance from the garage one Saturday morning. It was beautiful outside and we had the windows open so we thought it would be a great day to paint. Mitch left to go buy paint and I immediately called for back up. I called to see if my grandparents were willing to come spend the day with us and work. Mema got the best job she played with Payton so she didn't get into the paint. Poppop is a good painter so he assisted us. We actually put some paint on the walls by 11:30 and we had finished painting and got everything back in it's place by 4:30 when I needed to shower and get ready for work that night. I was so excited we did really good and pretty fast. So now our kitchen, garage entrance, and laundry room are Quietude( a blue color) I know blue, I was surprised at first to that I picked blue, not really a normal color for me but it turned out really good I really like it. .
The laundry room got painted the next weekend. Mitch surprised me and stayed up half the night on Saturday night and painted it and put everything away after he put Payton to bed. I think he was up til 3:30am. I was very surprised when I got home from work the next morning.
We are done with blue now. We still have the remainder of the first floor with the exception on the dining room and then upstairs. The entryway will not be fun at all.
