PAINTING during CONFERENCE

We didn't really paint DURING conference. And some of us didn't even paint. Just Mike and Lorin did the actual work. We merely supervised. It was fun!! For General Conference weekend, my little sister and her hubby came down to stay with us and help us paint some stuff. On Friday night Mike took Lorin with him to the BYU vs. Utah State game. They had fun. Andi and I talked and did crafts.

On Saturday morning the boys started priming the walls and painting and Andi and I went shopping for beads to make more watch bands.

On Saturday afternoon Andi and I made the watch bands while the boys painted.
When they went to the Priesthood session, we went to Roberts Crafts to look for fun crafty stuff.

Are you noticing a theme here??

It was a much needed remodel, but one that Mike is quick to point out, that could've waited but aren't we glad we didn't! All the walls in our upstairs are an off-white color and we added some color to them. We painted the dining room a sage green color and painted the main wall in our living room a dark red. I love it!!

Here is Lorin priming in the dining room

Love the dining room. It's beautiful! Love the red, too. I had that in my house in Elko and I miss the color. You will love it.
