Fixin' Up "Old House"

Our first week as homeowners wasn't what I expected.  We ended up spending nearly every waking hour at the old house fixing it up to put on the market.

We estimate it will be up in less than a week (yay yay yay!).  We got there early each morning and stayed until 7 or 8 each night.  I packed us PB&J sandwiches each day for lunch, which we ate on our living room floor (since there's no furniture there anymore!).  Here are a few shots from the days I remembered to bring my camera:

Living Room -- fresh coat of the existing paint color, Brown Teepee.  It's kind of hard to get an accurate picture of the wall color, so here's the color from the Behr website:

Kitchen: We had plans to paint it the same blue as the half bath, but our realtor suggested we use the brown teepee in there as well.  We now call our house "tan house."

Upstairs: We went with a lighter tan called weathered sandstone.  Here's the paint color.  It's very deceiving because it's sometimes tan, sometimes cream, and sometime (gulp) peachy.

Vaulted ceilings + husband on ladder = very scared (and very prayerful!) wife

Sooooo glad to say we're finishing painting!!!!
