We have been in our house for over a year now, and when we moved in we did have to do any renovating. We did re-do one room however, and that was the room in the basement that is considered 'Curt's' room. Mom and I painted it white, with all back trim and doors (to kind of resemble an ice rink) and then we put a HABS border up around it.
A couple of months ago I had been looking around the house one day and noticed that the wood work was really starting to show some wear and tear (probably from when we moved in), and thought that it was maybe time that a few of the rooms in the house could use a freshening up.
Right know we are in the middle of painting the dining room, and the living room. On Sunday we worked from 8:30a.m. until 6:30p.m. (or I worked from 8:30, and Curt didn't start until about 11:00) washing the walls, and getting the first coats of the paint up. Last night Curt put the second coat on the living room, and almost got the dining room done before he ran out of paint. Being as we can not get away with only the one coat, I will have to make a trip down to St. Jacobs tonight after work and get the second can of paint to finish it. I even put Destiny to work last night taping around the trim so that we can go at that with the paint.
On the agenda tonight and tomorrow night will be the trim work, and getting everything back together.
I was plensently surprised that Curt and I could work together on such a project as this one. We have had no major fights, and have managed to even be able to work on the same room. I thought for sure that by Sunday afternoon I would have to be in one of the rooms, and he would have to be in the other.
Here is a sneak peak of what the colors are going to look like:
