Since we purchased the house right before the school year, we had to wait to handle any cosmetic house projects, like the terrible wallpaper in the living room and dining room. The room was so dark with the grey wallpaper and grey ceiling. Yes, you read that correctly: the former owners had the ceiling painted grey in an already dark room.
This summer, Joshua and the kids tackled the wallpaper, we hired someone to patch the ceiling, and then Joshua and I painted it Swiss Coffee (a.k.a. WHITE!). Ah, it is incredibly white and I love it! Now we are doing some sprucing with a new rug, lamps, and simple artwork. It is so refreshing to have a bright, clean space for our family.
This summer, we also had the windows in the children's rooms replaced and the outside faucets changed over to frost-free faucets. Slowly, slowly we will work our way through this house. Next summer's goal: The bedrooms!
