Painting the Exterior!

The weekend following the 4th of July was a big one for us...painting! We tried out 4 different samples on the side of the house, and after MUCH deliberation, I chose "mega greige" (which is the sample on the far right out of the 4). We got to the paint store, and the guy heard me wrong-and made the whole batch to be "perfect greige" (the one on the right directly below). I thought it was karma for thinking so hard about this decision, then the paint guy just handing us a different color...

 

perfect greige is left of the window, mega greige is the far right...I'm really happy with both...thank God. 

 

My dad came over to help :) my mom came over that afternoon with Annie and we...watched. 

This was the progress for Saturday! We ordered pizza and called it a night.

John began painting Sunday morning while I went and looked at the wedding venue :)

 

Yep, the back isn't painted. Soon enough...

 

Quite a difference though!

 

And part of the side deck isn't done either. It will be painted once we clean up this area

Kitchen Ceiling....Part 2

Kitchen ceiling-part 2! Now that John had the time (and energy) to clean up the mess that happened during the leak, he was able to tackle this project. The old ceiling came down (along with some old friends...) and new insulation and sheet rock went up. While John was doing this he added the lights to hang over the new island :)

 

 Notice the new paint color??? John is painting as he goes
