I need to post some interior photos of our new home (which means first I need to take some photos)- but I think this kind of sums up the progress we've made:
The kids of course love to "help", but we all know how that goes. I like Matt's expression, which shows that all though we are doing work, no real progress is actually happening! The good news: the kids had fun, got to paint some designs on the wall, and soon they were finished and Matt and I actually painted it for real. The bad news: there were a few tense moments about dripping paint and getting too close to the wood work, and no matter how many times we reminded her, Addie kept touching the wet paint. You can't see the color at all because of the light, but if you are into details we painted our entry Moonshine (a light gray) by Benjamin Moore.
On a positive note, nothing needs to be done to the house immediately, and we are enjoying slowly making changes as time and money allows (although if anyone wants to come rip down some wall paper, we won't stop you).
