Over the past few weeks, Juli (and I stress Juli) has been doing some painting around the house and getting the walls coated with something other than the cheap paint the builders threw on.

The first mission was the basement. Down the stairs, in the tv room, and down the hall. The whole process took over a week, but man does it look nice. The color down there is a warm yellow that adds some much needed life. The color goes really well with the floor and furniture. All we need now are some lamps, art on the wall and a nice flat-screen tv.

The second mission was the master bedroom. This little project (although still in progress) is coming along nicely. We (again, I mean Juli) coated the walls with a deep brown that has a surprising resemblance to coffee. The room has a warm tone now and feels nice to walk into.

In addition to the painting this past weekend, Juli also spent some time cutting peonies from the front garden and hot pokers from the side garden. Both look awesome in the house. New plants were added to the front of the house, so I imagine in about a week or so we’ll have some nice colorful flowers to look at. That’s about all the excitement we’ve had around here lately.

Hopefully before the end of the summer we’ll also have a nice large patio in the backyard. Keep your fingers crossed.
