Painting, Painting, Painting.

We finally got the main area of the house painted -- it is really one large room that encompasses the kitchen, dining and family room. I hate painting. It took pretty much all the non-waking hours of the kids over two weekends for us to get it finished. I hate painting. It was complicated by the fact that the windows you see to the left (there are 5 of them) cannot be reached with a ladder because they are over the stairs. I hate painting. So Wade constructed a platform (we named it Matt) to span from the railing to the window sill. And yes, we did in fact check to make sure the life insurance and the disability were paid up. I just basically ignored what he was doing and did my stuff because the more I thought about it, the more I freaked out about it. Have I mentioned I hate painting??!!?? Anyhoo, the result was great - the color looks fab (SW Virtual Taupe). And the christmas decorations kinda complete the room!
