We finally did it!

We have lived in our house for over 7 years, and since we never decided on a paint color, we still have white walls. That is, until last week when we bought some paint and got to work.
And work it is! Our house isn't that big, but we do have 9 ft ceilings, and a vaulted ceiling in the living room which proved more than a challenge.
Here are some before/after shots:

It was more work than I thought it would be, but I am SO pleased with the result.
We still have to paint the bathrooms so technically we aren't finished yet. And there is a pretty good sized stack of pictures to re-hang too. But for now we are just enjoying having some color on our walls.
I have to say that my husband is the best painter ever. He was up and down the ladder, moving the heavy furniture, and didn't slack off when it was clean-up time; he is a hard worker.
So, come see us, we'll let you help us hang the pictures!
