Home Makeover

I have never been fond of the color of our walls, but because of our 18 foot ceilings, I thought it was impossible to paint it ourselves. The thought of hiring a painter just seemed like a waste of money, so we have never done it. I should know not to say something is impossible in front of my mom. So, after 7 trips to Home Depot, almost falling off of a 20 foot ladder, taping a paint brush to the end of a pole to be able to reach edges, and a lot of fun, the room was painted.

I forgot to take "before" pictures, but was able to track down a few random shots to give a better idea.

Bedroom before (notice furniture placement and wall-color):

Bedroom after (I still need to hang pictures and make some curtains):

And because my mom doesn't know how to relax when she visits, she decided to remove a nasty shower door that was moldy and broken and installed a shower curtain.

Before:

After:

When she finished all of that, she didn't want the unused paint to waste, so she painted a bathroom, replaced our towel bars, toilet paper holder, and gave us the softest towels I have ever felt. I don't have a before picture, but I am sure you can imagine:

Did I mention that my mom is old-enough to have a 43 year old son???

Thank you, Mom! I wish I had as much energy as you do!
