Painting- Day One

Yesterday marked day 2 of owning a home and day 1 of starting the painting we have planned for the house. I got there shortly after work and Patrick got there about an hour and a half later. Thankfully my parents were there to help during that time.

We got the walls washed and ready to be painted and another load of boxes was brought in. Patrick and I decided to stay a little after our parents left and painted the first item: a window frame. We got in one coat and decided to continue today.

Another coat should do the trick and we will be doing that this morning before we tackle more of the house. 

So much to do! 

But it's already starting to feel like home.

 

This weekend we have planned for friends and family to come and help. We are hoping to be 100% done painting by the end of the day on Sunday. If we go over into next week, that's fine because we have until the 14th before the movers come, but we still have a lot of boxes to move ourselves.

 

We have planned on painting the following rooms:

living room

kids room

Isabel's room

kitchen

our bathroom

our bedroom

 

At some point we will also need to paint the garage, Patrick's man cave and the garage bathroom, but that will come in time.
