We spent over 8 hours painting this weekend. We were clearly insane when we thought we’d get all the ceilings and walls painted in one day. Insane. We spent 8 hours painting the ceilings white. I’m almost positive they haven’t been painted since the house was built in the 50′s. What I can say for sure is that the work we did is definitely noticeable. It’s crazy what a fresh coat a paint can do. Oh the things I’m learning. Fresh paint, bleach and a scrub pad are all you need to make something look pretty again 
I know some of you will think it’s crazy that we aren’t taking before and after pictures, but the truth is I don’t care. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with digital pictures. We take photos of everything and then they sit on a hard drive. Also, the place was just dingy and I don’t really want to remember it that way. So if you are looking for the Before and After transformation, well there isn’t any evidence.
The more work we do to the place the more excited we become. This coming weekend we are going to paint the walls. It’s going to make it so much cozier and us. I’m truly excited! I’m not so excited, however, for the manual labor part.
Before we left on Sunday we took the dogs down to the lake. It was barely a 5 minute walk. So nice! It felt dream like. It was humid and it had just down poured for an hour. The streets were steamy from the heat and coolness of the rain. When we got back Nani puked all over the place. Fun times I tell ya!

Bah! I have been trying to convince my bf that it’s a good idea to paint our apartment for months. He has this thing where he watched his mom and dad repaint a room 5 times in as many months because they didn’t like the colour. Apparently that episode has scared him away from painting for a lifetime.
I’m jealous of your fresh coat of paint.

It does make a huge difference! When we moved into the place we’re renting at the moment the landlord re-painted the place and it looked SO MUCH BETTER!

I want to paint… seriously, I really want to paint!
Just kidding, totally understand! Can’t wait to see all the after photos though 
And no before pictures? What a bad photo blogger you are
Happy Monday my friend!
ugh, not gonna lie, I was hoping for before and after pics, but it’s understandable. I have pics on my camera that are just sitting there. Can’t wait to see the after though
I’m ready to slap a fresh coat of paint on my walls, too. Spring cleaning and all that, I guess.
