The unveiling of our huge paint job

For those of you who have been holding your breath...waiting for me to blog our new paint job on the house.... ta da!!!! The day is finally here!!! We finished yesterday. We have been working on it every day for two weeks and are thrilled with the results. We are also worn out and tired of painting!! Okay, Now lets see what you think. I decided to put up unpainted then painted right after so you can compare each part of the house.

We are busy working on the front of the house.
Dave and I just starting. I always get paint in my hair so I was prepared. Yes I finally did get paint in my hair the last couple of days when I was so tired I didn't care enough to cover it!
Joel helped us out several times and we were so appreciative!
This is our audience and biggest supporters.
Still doing the front.

The front finished!
Different huh? Do you like the color change?

We painted the screen door white and painted Pops handrail black. We put up a new light.
After we get back from Sages wedding in Nauvoo we will repaint the steps and deck.
The carport before.

And after. It is so much brighter in the kitchen because the carport is so light now.

The deck
Do you like the new lights?
The living room is so light because of the reflected light on the deck.
The north side of the house.

The back



All finished. Now lets see.... What is our next project???? Nauvoo here we come!!!! Look out world we are ready for a vacation. We will fly out Monday and stay there for a week and I vow not to even look at a paintbrush!!!

It looks great! I was looking at Sheri's blog and saw a corner of the new painted house and was confused. So I'm glad to see it posted. You guys are pretty busy and amazing.

WHAT!!!! We have a wonderful list of projects here in Nauvoo just waiting for the experts who have have so much experience now. WOW!!! It looks amazing. We are not going to be able to fine our house because your place looks so different and we will think we are in the wrong neighborhood. I wish we weren't so busy while you will be here so we could spoil you.
