Painting

 While we are at it...

 An unwanted visitor that wanted to check out our progress.

 

Aunt Diane wants in on the action!  I mentioned that some day I would like to take down the border in the master bedroom, and the next thing I know she comes out with a handful...LOL!

 

After border removal, before paint.

  

1998 border, BE GONE!

 I think this faded fruit bowl artwork would look lovely on the mantel...LOL!

 Decided the bathroom could use a refresh, too!

 Uhhh, Mark?  The paint goes on the WALL!

 It's 5:00!

 This really shows the difference in color.  Bye, bye builder beige!

 Everyone hard at it!

 Grandma Vada is the best painter and cleaner around, but we won't be asking her to help with super glue anymore! 

 No turning back...honey oak BE GONE!

 Grandpa Earl painting the tricky part of the beam.

Aunt Peggy is such a pro!

We are sooo BLESSED to have such a wonderful family!  THANKS to all of you for a memorable weekend!  I will post more before/after pics after we finish the tile work on the fire place. (and after my shopping spree for new rugs. shower curtains, pillows, etc. etc.)
