Extreme Home Makeover

In case you were all wondering what I did in my spare time besides grandparenting this collage gives you a tiny glimpse of one Extreme Home Makeover. Last Saturday Heather and Matt moved into their very own home....but before that could happen, Heather decreed that every surface in the house(except for the garage) needed a new coat of paint!(she was right of course!) Flourescent Orange be gone....Although Heather and I did the lion's share of the painting, we did have some willing helpers(and yes, that is indeed Dave in the closet with a Paint Roller! He was a real trooper and stepped up to the plate when our other helpers couldn't make it and we had too many walls to paint and not enough hours in the day! ) Matt bought himself a 'How To' book and helped by patching drywall, putting in new light switches and outlets, and hanging all the cupboard doors with brand new hardware! Very impressive!!

On Friday we finished the last of the trim and boy are we glad! It was a gargantuan task but well worth it when we surveyed the finished product! A cute little house with Heather's very own touch of class everywhere! We really do enjoy painting together and I am already planning our next project...but first we need to take a month or two without a paintbrush in our hands! :-)
