Summer Project

Yes that is me and I have a paintbrush in my hand! This summer we were able to spend some time working on the inside of our house. It was time to touch up the walls and change some colors. Poor Nate! I don't think he realized what he was getting into when he married me!

Picking out colors for our house was difficult! I originally wanted to paint one of the walls in our kitchen red, then it changed to burgundy, and finally to a chocolate color. Then I had to pick a color that would go with our chocolate color. That was another chore. Nate was able to help me decide. What a great guy! He is always able to take some of my stress away! What great concentration he has while painting!

My family volunteered to help us paint. My brother and I started painting the living room area. We had a great time bonding together! He is so patient with me! Then Nate and the rest of my family were around to finish the task. We painted the living room, entry way, and hallways a creme color. The two kitchen walls we painted a light chocolate color. The upstairs bathroom we painted a deep blue.

Most of the upstairs is done. We'll attempt our two bedrooms sometime this year. Little by little. Thanks to my family for coming over and helping us with this huge task. We couldn't have done it without your help!

The next weekend Nate's parent came over and helped us some more with our basement bathroom. Nate and his dad spent a lot of time dry walling. They both were covered in dust! Yuck! They are troopers! I don't think we'll be doing the whole basement on our own!

Hopefully this year will get the whole basement done. That would be great to have more space to entertain and relax. Stay tuned for more house projects. I think it will be awhile until we get more stuff done. It's football season in the Mihalek household. That means Michigan games come first! Too bad their season isn't going well!
