Remodeling

 Finally, after 22 years of living in our town house we are getting it painted.  Picking out the right color is always a challenge so we got Kent Swan to come over and help us with colors.  He spent about an hour in the kitchen just looking at colors and finally came up with three choices for us.  We went with a light cream with brown tones in it.  I'm so happy to get rid of the gold and yellow tones in the old paint.  Here are some pictures of the swatches of paint.  We went with the  color on the left.  The darker one.

The doors and door frames will be a lighter canvas tan color.  All the base boards are the same color as the walls.  We hired Taylor (don't know his last name) to do the painting for us.  He painted the spare bedroom upstairs so we know he is really good.  He told us it would be $10,850 for the whole main floor and the upstairs.  We aren't doing Neal office as he hasn't decided what colors he wants in there.  The two rooms we decided not to do are the guest bathroom and our walk in closet.  Everything else will be newly painted.  Taylor said he thought it would take him the whole week so Neal and I called Ron and Judy to see if they would like to spend a week in St. George.  They did so we left Monday morning for St. George.  Sadly had to drop little Sprout off at Dogtopia for the week.  I already miss the little guy.

Here are some pictures that Taylor sent us getting the house ready to paint.

The contrast will be fun to see.  I'll have Kent Swan come back over and help us rearrange furniture and possible buy some new pieces and where to hang pictures.  I'm so ready for a change.
