Paint has arrived
Today we bought our paint. Check out our colors. The living room and kitchen will have one red wall. The other 3 walls in the living room will be the gentle rain color. The other 3 in the kitchen will be the cinnamon cake. The master bedroom will be painted in garden wall and the guest bedroom will have winter lake. All of the window frames and door frames, as well as the doors, will be in white semi gloss. The ceiling will also be white.
After Home Depot, we were able to put another coat of primer in the kitchen and move the stove and fridge back in. The funky peeling paint looked fine after some sanding and more primer. You can't see it behind the fridge and stove anyway. The opposite wall, apparently we missed some sanding and other parts started bubbling after the primer dried a while. Weird! We popped the bubble and tried smoothing it out. Hopefully it'll shrink back and look okay with a few coats of paint over it.
The Franciscos are coming back up this weekend on their way to a wedding Idaho. And Chris' sister and family are visiting as well. Great! More people to help paint. =)

congratulations on your house! (so waaay delayed.) i think wilfred mentioned it, but i sometimes zone out when he's talking. hehehe. i feel your pain though! before we moved out of our old house, we redid our bathrooms, tiled the non-carpeted spaces, steam cleaned the carpets, patched holes in roof and refinished cabinetry. keep up the good work. the next time i'm up, i'll go and visit! love, ~ri
