Bye bye green!!

For the past 8 years we have had two toned green walls.  For 7 of those years I loved them. But this last year I have really had a desire to change them. Finally, the perfect opportunity arose to paint them.

James had a court of honor coming up for scouts. And when it became known that he was only 2 merit badges away from earning his Star rank we took action! Especially since he was already mostly done with two of his required merit badges. For one of those merit badges we needed to do a family project. Bingo! The project of painting the living room began!












 We pulled a ton of books out of bookshelves...

Cleaned and washed the walls....Ben and Mark really enjoyed this part. I'm sure it was tears of joy that they were sharing!

Then we painted! And painted...and painted...and painted.. and three coats later we finally finshed!!

Of course, the final product I forgot to take a picture.

James did a great job organizing the project. He received his Star just like he wanted. Congrats James!











Now if we can get the project of new flooring going!!!
