When we bought our new house, we knew that we didn't totally dig on the interior paint color and that we wanted to repaint. My first thought was "heck, my time is valuable - I'll just hire a painting crew to come in and do it." But when estimates came in skywards of $2,500 I quickly figured that this was a job we were gonna do ourselves.We got the kitchen done, then the downstairs hallway, then the downstairs bath, then the living room & dining room; I ran into trouble when I started painting the upstairs hallway and ran out of paint - heck, we lived with a half-painted hallway for at least a month.
Today Katie and I got our painting hats on and finished the hallway, got started on the rec room and the second bedroom.
Paint colors are not my area of expertise so thank goodness for a wife like Katie who has a good sense of taste. If left to me, all the walls in every room would be the same and would be called boring by most.
We're knocking it out, little by little, and I think we have momentum to get us done by Christmas. Time will tell ...
