The interior of our house was to be painted while we were at Diamond Lake, which required almost all of our closets and a few cupboards to be emptied, in addition to moving most of our furniture.
We had hoped they'd be done by the time we got home, but they weren't. Our house was crazy junk piles coupled with paint fumes to make you instantly light-headed.
This is our closet, with our red comforter in the corner, Liam's changing table and Megan's toy chest.
Our bedroom didn't need much painting so we got to build an impressive mound in here. Megan's bed is on our bed, and all of her closet contents are scattered about, with our curtain rod on the very top.
Oh yeah, and the air was so dusty, I couldn't even get a good photo!
Liam's "room" is mostly back to being a closet (though he is still sleeping here). It is now housing all of our curtains and the rest of Megan's bed.
And the laundry room got all the rest of the furniture (the very astute might note that the laundry room was not part of this upgrade and painting project. Maybe this winter...anybody interested in stripping wallpaper again?)
To top things off the painters backed into my sister's car which was parked at our house for the week and totally smashed in the passenger side door.
We took a quick look around, wrestled all the kids back into the car (and they were ready to get out!), and headed straight to a hotel for the rest of the weekend.
The painters and carpet guy worked diligently through the weekend, so by Sunday afternoon, we could at least come back home. We still haven't put anything away because we have a lot of paint touch-ups that need to be done. On the bright side - things are looking great inside the house and I love how fresh the new white trim looks. Sunday afternoon I read and did push-ups in our empty living room just to admire the paint! I can't wait to move in and start living again!
