Redecorating ....

John and I spent most of today working on getting the front hall and the hallway prepared for painting. We had some serious foundation work done (the house, not me!) last summer, and we were told to wait 6 months before repairing cracks in the walls and ceilings. Well, it is now time to start fixing things up.
Yesterday, we took all the pictures and other things off the walls and John started repairing all the cracks and holes and stuff. He continued with that today. I have visited the Sherwin Williams Paint Store so often that they gave me a discount card today, thankfully!

We finally decided to paint the old woodwork in our house - which has turned a kind of yellowish color because it is so old. Anyway, after looking at a ton of paint chips, going online to see what our colors look like together and one mistaken purchase (I did that - got wrong color), we ended up with the paint and the base coat thing for the wood and all the other stuff we need.

Tomorrow, after work, we will mask off all the woodwork, and start painting.

Mind you, this is only the front entry and the hallway - we still have dining room, living room, kitchen, and at least 2 bedrooms to go. Oh, and 2 bathrooms, too.

This is gonna take a long time. Neither of us love doing this. But I do know we will be really happy to have it all look nice in the end. At least I am pretty sure we will be happy!
