House Painting Before Pics

For two spring breaks in a row now we've tackled a painting project. This spring break (over a month ago... I'm behind on blogging obviously) we tackled the whole house. Living room, kitchen, dining room, hallways, den. It was part of my 25 Things to have done before my upcoming birthday in July and with hosting 3 baby showers I knew we needed to get on it ASAP. The hard part was picking out the paint. It took me about a month and a half to finally settle on a color after I had lived with the samples and asked about 15 people for their opinions. Leave it to me to end up going with the first one I picked. I should always follow my gut instinct... it's always what I go with! Here's all the before pics. Haven't taken any after pics yet... maybe I'll do that tomorrow and hopefully blog about it in a timely manner :)

I forgot to take any before pics of the den. Oops... you'll see it in after pics I guess :) Instead here's my furry friends helping me prep for paint by laying on the paint sheets covering furniture.
