The painting continues...


Emily is on a roll! No pun intended. Since the kitchen turned out so well, Emily decided to paint the dining room, too. Jeremy was a little bummed, since he likes the "rustic cabin" look from before, but the room was so dark all of the time that we wanted to brighten it up a bit. Here are some before pictures (in the middle of the day, with all the lights on, and a flash...)

AFTER
(6 cans of paint and two days later...)

Okay, so it turned out a bit "minty" for our tastes...it was the hardest room I have ever painted. I need a painting sabbatical before I can tackle this room again. When we replace the carpet next year I'll repaint it a less minty green, but for now it sure looks a lot better than it did before!
Oh, and all of those spots you see on the carpet - no, we didn't forget to vacuum. Emily had an accident. Actually, TWO accidents and knocked a can of paint over not once, but twice. Sonofa...

And here is Evan helping Mommy clean up. What a good little boy. (C'mon, you all sweep your house when you're naked, right?)
