Love the smell of fresh Paint!

Things have started to get started! When re-doing a house you have to LOVE the first day you get to put paint on the wall!

We bought the house two months ago - the electricians finished rewiring a month ago and so we started unpacking, did some plumbing and thinking about what our final project would look like - and now Ty has started working on repairing the walls and ceilings where needed (a lot of places) and now I can actually go home and paint a ceiling tonight! AND we have actually picked a paint colour for the front foyer and up the stairs/hallway ...... I could not be more excited about painting!

How did we finally get the kick in the butt to do this? well, last Friday Canadian Tire was having an amazing sale on lighting fixtures - so we went crazy - bought all lighting fixtures for the house (minus the required kitchen and bathroom lighting) ..... then we brought them home and were really excited about putting them up and then we thought about it - we need to paint the ceiling first - unless we want paint on the new fixtures - and to paint the ceiling, we need to repair it first - and if we want to paint the ceiling it connects with the crown moulding so that joint needs to be caulked in places, and if we're painting all the crown moulding than the joint that hits the crown moulding against the wall needs to be done - and THEN the wall have to be done - which connects to the door and window trim and wainscoting, which connects to the baseboards .... this turned into a bad game of "heads connected to the neck bone, neck bones connected to the shoulder bone" ...... but in the end it means we are working room by room to get the walls and ceilings repaired - so that we can paint the ceilings ...... which are already painted white - but to me look dirty ..... so I want to repaint them white ..... I know, crazy!

You have to love the fresh smell of paint on a sparkling white ceiling with a new fixture!
