To paint or not to paint . . .

Saturday morning we began "Massive Painting Project #1", aka painting the living room/kitchen/dining room/hallway.  Because these rooms are essentially all the same room (open to one another), we decided to paint them the same color.  I chose Olympic's Premium Satin in Vanilla Brandy.  It turned out to be a very beautiful color.  A light tan that really pops with white trim.  Very very nice. 

It took us a good chunk of the day to paint all those rooms, and we finished a little before supper.  We hung the curtains back up, reinstalled the blinds over the patio doors, and moved all the furniture back. 

Sunday morning we kind of got a late start, because Jas wasn't feeling very well.  We were going to paint our bedroom and bathroom, but because he was a little "under the weather", we decided to work on mouldings instead.  Before lunch we had the door mouldings put on both Connor's and Anna's rooms, as well as our bathroom and closet.  After lunch we started on the baseboards.  We had all those installed before supper, and now all that's left is the crown.  That's going to take a long time to install, but at least we've gotten the rest of the mouldings up.  The house looks more "finished" now. 

Tomorrow evening after supper (and pretty much all week), we'll be working on measuring, cutting, and installing the crown moulding.  Wish us luck! :)
