There is just no fun way of dealing with your house being in a state of disarray. However, I have seen quickly that painting the interior was the right way to go!
Check out the Before and After view. On the left is the photo of the bullnose corner that goes from the living room to the hallway leading to the guest room (the dining room is all the way to the left). Now, look at that same spot on the right - after painting. Holy shit!! What an amazing difference!!
Unfortunately, we have one more day to endure of this mess:
When Richard comes back tomorrow, he will finish all of the walls. For now, I am enjoying the change in the look of the doors and baseboards. The girls' bedroom door now matches the rest of the house, but the magnetic paint is actually still under there - how cool is that?
The top insert section of this door was painted pink with the magnetic paint. Now, it looks the same as the rest of the house.
The paint fumes weren't as bad as I thought they would be, and as much as I would have liked to add some color to the house, it is nice just to have it all back to the "Cottage White" that we started with.
Now, to figure out a way to keep the kids from marking up the walls too quickly.....
