Stir crazy, anyone?

February 15, 2011

Matt and I got a little project crazy after being cooped up in the house for a week due to the snow.  We painted our dining room, great room, stairs and upstairs hallway.  We also put some spiffed up our staircase with some wainscoting.  I love that my husband is handy but what I love even more is that is he ready and willing anytime I mention a new project.  We did all the work together and I have to say I love how it turned out.  Now I just have to get my pictures hung in the hallway.  Here are some before and after pics of the work.  BTW the total cost of this was $25.  Matt mixed the paint with cans we already had on hand and we had all the tools we needed.  We just had to buy the mdf for the staircase project.

Before - forgot the real before so I had to take one after we started...hence the mud already on the wall and the ladder taking up most of the picture.
