So, the drywall is up and the painting/staining has begun. I'm sorry I have no pictures of the drywall progress but I could hardly stand to be down there (or in my house for that matter!). It was so messy and a very busy week. Our contractor Kent finished on time like he wanted so we could have my free weekend to start painting. His wife is a nurse too so he understands the every other weekend working thing!. We spent friday cleaning up and dusting everything. David and I started priming Saturday and then realized it was drying well so we put on the first coat of brown Saturday night. We had decided to go with a chocolate brown and marine blue. I always get nervous to paint... will it go on well, how will it blend. I would look down at the paint tray and see this melted chocolate looking paint and think Yum! Then I would look and wonder if people would think it would look like some other brown substance... Yuck! Overall I do think I like it and today the cabinets got put in (sorry no pictures of those yet) and all of the sudden it is all coming together!! I again have realized it may not be everyone's taste but it is what we picked and we are the ones that will be living in it.
