The biggest(and by biggest I mean 19ft. ceilings) challenge was the family room. The main part of the house was painted a very dull shade of grey. We knew the living room would be a task because of the height of the walls. Steve, bless his heart, was quite the trooper and painted into the night on a number of occasions. The frustration came when the next morning we would awake to find a few missed spots somewhere around the 18 ft. level. It all got done and we even managed to decorate a little for Christmas. I hope Santa likes his new landing pad.

Family Room

Dining Room
The dining room project was another testament to the value of a $25 gallon of paint. This was another "what were you thinking" room. Your eyes are not deceiving you, eggplant purple on the bottom and peachy/taupe on top. Did I mention the 1980's chandelier in the house that was built in 1996? Where is Candice Olsen and Chico when you need them?
