Slavedom

{I'm going to jump right in here...if you are wondering why, when, where, & for whom I did this, check out the last blog post "Easters."}
I use the word slavedom, but really my services were voluntary.
I like to paint, what else can I say.
After over 20 gallons of paint (7-8 different colors),

maybe 50 paint rollers, thousands of feet of painter's tape, and millions of brushstrokes, I could still probably spend at least another three weeks finishing things up!

Here are the "Before's" and the "After's," get your "Ooh's" and "Ahh's" ready.
I thought we would start at the front door.  Actually, this is not my masterpiece to brag about.  Mom painted the door...

This is the large family room, leading to the kitchen.

The fireplace looks 1,000% better than it did!
U-G-L-Y {it ain't got no alibi!}

The spare bathroom upstairs...

Master Bedroom

Lucy & Nora's bedroom

The basement..."After"

{That is a jumpy castle in the middle of the floor...& the whiter part of the wall is for the projector to shine on & play movies.}

The babies room..."After"

I painted two of these side tables.

I also made this shelf a little more interesting...it used to be plain ol' white.

This is the only "Before" picture I have of this nightstand, but it turned out really nice too.

Now you can see why I may still be picking paint out of my fingernails.

There were a few more rooms I painted that weren't pictured:

1 office

2 hallways

1 master bathroom

1 living room

11 kitchen

I think Nora likes her new house though, what do ya think?!
