Painting the Days Away

Most of what we have been doing at the house lately is painting. This weekend, we decided to rip out the bookcases that were built in next to the fireplace and paint all of the remaining wood trim. Of course, we were also finishing up the painting that we have been doing upstairs. We finally took our Christmas card picture on Sunday, and I ordered the cards last night. I am looking forward to sending them out! We went over to the house this evening and painted some more....and we are doing the same thing tomorrow. We have the carpet set up to be installed a week from today, and then we can finally start moving our stuff into the rooms!! I am looking forward to actually living there instead of just going there and working every weekend. Here are some pictures to show our latest progress:

..and after! It made SUCH a difference.

Things are shaping up! Now, after a day of regular work and a night of house-work...I am ready for bed. Goodnight!
