We completed the living room, the hallway, and Caden's room. Aaaaand, I decided that the red paint in the living room and hallways were too much for the dark wood flooring and the furniture. So, we started repainting too (I know the paint looks white in the pictures...trust me, with two boys, it is NOT white paint). I think I have truly annoyed my husband with the different directions in which I have taken our project. I've tried to explain that this is what doing projects with an A.D.D. person is like. He still loves me so, I'm guessing that if Brian and I can make it through these home improvement projects, we're good to go for the rest of our lives. :)
What I've learned about myself is the following:
*I can use a crowbar, hammer, mallet, and put in laminate like no one's business
*I can use a blade (I will *cut*. you. hahaha!)without cutting my arms all up
*I'm scared of messing up anything
*I have trouble completing projects thus prevents me from starting them even if they are truly good ideas...gotta work on the follow-through
*I would have made a good power lifter in school
*I'm still amazed with how precise measurement needs to be.
So, here are a few pictures as we're progressing. When all is said and done, I will post the final pictures.
Here is what it looks like with the red paint. Not really digging the color of the walls with the color of the floors.
Below you will see it with the new color (it's called Milestone and I dig it.) I think it looks better with the darker flooring. Brian finally admitted he thought so too. (My crazy self:1 Brian's logic: 0)
