Warm Gingerbread!

Last weekend we finally took the plunge into the world of color and painted the inside of our house! We have been wanting to do it for awhile and actually found a weekend that we didn't already have something going on. Blake was able to paint the hallway, living, and dining rooms all on Saturday. Even with three kids in the house! We chose the color "warm gingerbread" and love the way that it turned out. Our next project is to get some curtains up on the front and back windows. I think I was most happy that we finally painted and were able to take down our yucky blinds that we have had on our windows since we moved in FIVE years ago!

It looks almost exactly like the color of our living/dining room! I think we really do live the exact same life!!!! :)

It looks great! What a difference a little gingerbread makes :-)
I am very impressed that you not only painted but taped the high living room ceiling! And even more impressed you did all that with 3 children in the house!
