I am glad to see that you had time to paint your house. The rooms look great. Well, we decided that our outside of our house needed a new look. We went and got paint swatches to match the brick or at least come close. Got all the supplies that we would need and started to pressure wash the house. Once we got all the sand off the house didn't look to bad. The new color just really made the house look different. We started to paint the trim and the first color looked like coral on crack. It was pinker than I thought it would be. Mind you our bricks are red with a touch of orange. So i took the paint back to see if they could maybe darken it for us. They couldn't so they just exchanged it for the darker color. Came home started to put it over the other paint and it became bright orange. I was not happy. We decided to not do the rest of the trim and have a friend's brother finish it for us. Hopefully he can save our house. Or we will be know as "Just go past the house with the orange trim" house and I can't live with that. This was all after the lady told us that you have to apply 3-4 coats of paint to achieve the color that you want. Nice.
Have a great day and I hope this brightens some one's day it sure did mine.
I will post a picture later.

Corey, I check your site almost every day and where are your posts? (I know you've been busy cause I've seen Cami's site) Anxiously waiting for new news. :) your cousin Kim :)
We have recently moved and things are settled down. It has been a good move for us. We are in Leavenworth, KS. There area is definetly much greener than my kids are used to. You would think they only know brown since El Paso has that color in abundance. Anyway, I will get pictures posted to my blog about my house. We are all doing well and moving along.
