Our Dining Room Is Painted!

Painting is sooo much work! The painting part wasn't fun,

but spending time with Derrick was. I am so lucky to 

have a husband who helps out with everything! Cleaning, 

taking care of our kids, running errands, working, and 

doing jobs around the house! =) He is such an awesome

husband and daddy! He is the best! I've been wanting to paint

so bad. I already knew the colors I wanted, it was just

getting ourselves to do it. This year we're hosting Thanksgiving

dinner, so I wanted it to be painted before then. Derrick agreed, 

and we woke up Saturday morning, bought paint, and

got right to it. The maroon color too FOREVER to get 

all blended and the right color. We did 4 coats, the tan color

we just did one, and it looks great. We were glad we decided

to only paint one wall maroon! 

The paint tape we bought was green, so it looked like

Christmas with the red and green. =)

Here's a few before:

I love it!
