One Week Update!!!

One week update!  We are pretty much done with painting, so we are feeling really great about our progress!  Feel free to check out the before pictures if you need a refresher!  Just in case you are curious, we used the Behr Premium Plus Ultra paint with primer in it.  I would highly recommend this paint as in most room we were able to get full coverage in just 1 coat with re-rolling over a few spots.  In just 2 coats, we were able to cover up very bold colors, so we would say this paint surpassed our expectations significantly!  

We used a few different sheens of paint depending on the rooms: eggshell in the majority of the house, satin in the bathrooms and kitchen, and semi-gloss on the trim and doors.  The colors we used throughout the entire house were and they are linked to the color so you can see them better:

• Gobi Desert: the main beige color you see throughout the house and in Jared's ready room
• Hazelnut Cream: the super light beige in the bathrooms and master 
• Earthnut: the more mocha brown in the kitchen
• Wheat Bread: the greige (mix of grey and beige) found in both guest rooms and as accent in our master and master bath
• Very Pure White: the white on the trim and doors

Here are all of the most recent pictures - we are so very excited to share them with you at last!!!

We are very excited by how everything is turning out!  Everything is really starting to come together at last!  Now, all we need to do is paint that secondary bedroom and basically re-floor most of the house.  We had a carpet guy come by to do a measure today, so we are excited to stop by their shop and pick out carpet and get it ordered.  Eventually, we are looking forward to replacing the vinyl "hardwood" flooring in the kitchen and front hallway and the gross vinyl in both of the bathrooms, but that will have to come a little later. For now, we are just excited to get some carpet in the house since currently there is not even a single square foot!  Can't wait to see what they say tomorrow...hopefully we can get it carpeted before next weekend!  

Thanks for checking out our one week update!  We are very happy with how much we got done this week and are so thankful for all of our helpers!  Can't wait to see where we are next week with seven more days of progress under our belts!  Hopefully by then we will be carpeted and all moved in!
