The sweet smell of drywall?

After an unexpected trip back to Idaho, we are back and ready to start painting. Wish we could have went back under better circumstances but it was so great to see our family. I have been so busy with everything I guess I forgot how homesick I was.

The front door was delivered last week. I get home from work late and usually I'm running to soccer, T-ball or home to feed the family dinner. The night it got installed I went straight up to the house. I just couldn't wait to see it. Well...it's huge but I love it! All vertical 9 feet of it.

The bottom floor is dry walled and they have started the upstairs. Here is the foyer...with another shot of the front door.

Here is a photo of the living room and fireplace.

Here is a photo of the mechanical room which will also be home to much of my pantry

Here is a photo of the jack and jill bathroom.

Here is a photo of the my little pantry. The hot water heater was moved into my mud room and that meant giving up my locker style bench that I was so excited about. The bonus was that I did get some extra pantry space in the mechanical room

Taryn's bedroom which will double as the guest room. So to all our family and friends this will be your view if you come to visit.

Here is the barrel ceiling. This was an expensive feature but I think it's going to look great!

The last photo is a picture looking from the living room to the kitchen and dining room.

So by next week we should be pretty close to having the place taped and textured. Which means 5000 square feet of painting for me. When I agreed to painting Thomas didn't say anything about drywall primer and the fact that I was painting the whole house twice.
