Vacation is Over

So, we just went to the beach this weekend with Mom for Easter and it was really great to get away for a little bit.  No house work for a whole 3 days! Woohoo!

But, the vacay is over and, today being my day off from work, it was time to get back to business.  We were there for 10 hours today, but spent the entire morning waiting for a Groupon cleaning crew to show up that never came (surprise) so we lost a lot of working time.  No fret, they are scheduled to come back tomorrow morning! We finished priming the whole den, aside from the built-in cabinets and it looks so good! The fireplace wins the award for the biggest transformation. Here are some photos of the progress!

HUGE fatty roller-- I called it "the lamb leg"

Whoa! SUCH a difference!

Brent primed all of the window trim! (Keep ignoring the brass track lights...)

Door trim primed

I cannot wait to get paint on these walls! I think the color (you can see some swatches on the ground in the last photo- I don't know how to pick!) is going to really finish the room.  A simple color on the walls, and a little semi-gloss white on the brick and trim and this is going to be a warm and inviting room!
