Painted Walls

In case you're wondering. No, the house isn't finished. My mom spent Thanksgiving week with us and helped get our walls finished. We now have a painted living room, hallway, and bedrooms. We textured and painted every ceiling and the kitchen floor is completely grouted, too. The boxes of flooring are now in the living room waiting for us to finish unpacking them, Unless the magic gnomes show up tonight and put them down for us Mom will be coming up after Christmas to help us do it. We haven't put up a Christmas tree in the house because of the flooring issue and that's put a little damper on the season. I will probably put it up in the kitchen just so I can have it up. And yes I will post pictures. I'm trying to come up with an interesting picture to put on our Christmas cards. Something with a paint roller.

Our first snow!

Our neighbors. Aren't they cute? Tim keeps trying to pet them.

Rhonda, our friend from church, helped us paint part of our living room before mom came up, but unfortunately, we had not done a very good job of mudding so mom had to fix it. We had a great time with Rhonda at least even if the evidence has been painted over.

See what I mean about mom fixing my poor mudding techniques.

Guest room before.

Guest Room After. (Yes, I know I should have made the bed before I took the picture.)

Master bedroom.

Below are three pictures of the same wall in the living room.

After we painted it and then mom arrived and fixed more of my goofs.

Now.

Mom in action! She's grouting the rest of the kitchen floor.

Our really cool light fixture over the sink. There is a matching one over the dining room table. Or at least it will be when we get a table.

Boxes of flooring that still need to be unpacked so it can acclimate to the temperature and humidity of the house.

We have to make three more stacks like this. Now if we can just figure out where to put those stacks in the house. Lily says "Hi!"
