R.I.P. Yellow Wall

This last Monday, Stephanie and I took a day off work to paint our bedroom. Luckily, Steph's family was in town staying with us, so we took advantage of the extra hands to help with the project. If we were to paint the room ourself, it could of taken a week. But having 5 pairs of hands all painting together helped us get the entire room done in a day. We couldn't have done it without them! Finally the horrid yellow wall is gone!

Splish, Splash

We spent last weekend painting our half bathroom downstairs. Originally the bathroom was the off white color (yuck!) that's in the rest of the house with the main wall painted dark dark brown. Why on earth would you want an accent wall in such a small space? With each project, we find out just how many corners the previous owners cut to finish the job. On this project, for example, the wall anchors used to mount toilet paper roll hardware to the wall had been stripped. Instead of patching the hole and moving the hardware down a couple inches, they just filled the hole with caulking and essentially clued the hardware to the wall. Anyways, we painted the bathroom the same color as our master bath. Steph went out and found a framed mirror at Ross for like $15! It's usually hit and miss with their mirrors but its way cheaper than buying an $80 one at a hardware store.

It's Christmas Time

We went out and bought our first Christmas tree. Although we don't have a lot of Christmas decorations for our first Christmas as a married couple, we had so much fun setting up our tree and making it look pretty.
