Step 1: Living room

There were a few projects we decided to do before we moved everything in:

• Paint the ceilings
• Paint the living room
• Paint the kitchen cabinets

All of these projects would have otherwise meant a lot of furniture moving and a lot more masking. The boys sprayed the ceilings while I was at the other house finishing some last minute packing. But my mother in law and I painted the living room, and what a difference it made! We tried a few samples but as soon as we started painting this color on the walls I was in love!

You better believe that in a house with two boys, I had to fight for that color, but it was so worth it. The color is amazing, during the day with the sun it looks so bright and cheery. But during the evening it looks so much more grey, which is why I think the boys are starting to like it.

The color is Behr Plus Ozone from Home Depot.
