Job #2 Paint, Paint and More Paint

We are painting the whole house and since we retextured the ceilings, means we're painting them too. That's a lot of paint. There was a sale at Home Depot a few weeks ago, so we bought 28 gallons of paint and primer and hopefully it will cover all the walls and ceilings...We thought we were going to have the painting all done before the carpets went in...hahahahahaha!

White Ceilings and Eggshell colored Walls

Taking a break....

Love the paint in the hair and on the face...

I didn't realize how time consuming and tiring painting is...I'm tired of painting and we still have the downstairs to do....did I say I'm tired of painting???

Anyways, while many times we worked late into the night with Decker there, we had to figure out a way to keep him off of wet walls, fingers out of paint, and put him to bed when he got tired.

We made a little bed for him in the hall closet with some extra blankets. He didn't seem to mind-- and was tired enough that he would lay down and go to sleep.

When he was awake and wanting to run around, we would put him in his saucer with lots of treats to keep him occupied. (Decker's room)

(Living room)(Master Bedroom)In all this painting, we even had a visitor....We caught Decker with the ceiling paint lid in his hands brought up to his tongue. We called 9-1-1 to be on the safe side, they got there in less than 2 minutes from our phone call and they called Poison Control and they said that it was a water based paint and he should be fine. Maybe we were a little over protective, but you never know....Decker loved hearing the sirens and seeing the big truck.. What fun!

And did I say? I'm tired of painting....
