Painting Party

Last Weekend we painted. Well, I didn't paint. I watched the kids while my mom, dad, and grandpa painted. Even Sammie helped tape off the baseboards and she did a good job too. They painted the kitchen. No more green. Then they painted the music room. No more ugly dark brown stripe around the the room. They painted the living room. No more peachy beige. Then they painted the stairwell. No more white. Then they painted the hallway upstairs. They just kept going and going and going. I feel like my house is more my own now. Light and airy. Like my old house. I actually just used the same color paint. Why do something else when I know what I like? I love it. And I love family that were so excited to come and paint. It was comforting to have everyone here. The pictures don't really do it justice but it feels better. I promise.

I think I'm ready for another painting party. I already have all the colors picked out.

And I love my new light fixture over the kitchen table. Much better. It's starting to feel more like home.
