Painting at Mom's

Last Saturday we painted my Mom and Corey's place. We were planning on doing the front room and the kitchen, but we got a lot more done than expected thanks to some experienced Card boys and lots of family help. Every wall was white before we came in. We painted the whole front room light tan with a chocolate brown accent wall. The kitchen was done in a beautiful red and the cabinets were painted white again. We were also able to tan the upstairs hallway, two more walls, and the stairway to the basement. The pictures explain it best, although I didn't get pictures of everything.

Tyler is ready to paint! :)

Ben, Danny, Dave, Mom, Dave, and Devin. We had to wash all the walls before we painted. Mom got a lot done before hand with putty and sanding.

Corey got right into it. He was a pro painter by the end. I love that chocolate brown!

The Card boys: cousin Danny, cousin Dave, and uncle Dave. These three were the freight train. Ben and I could not believe how fast they were. They have lots of experience and a cool little tool that made it so we didn't have to tape as much. Uncle Dave's height was a huge help as well :)

Mom's ceilings were a challenge but we had 3 ladders and some tall men.

Annie and Sarah were awesome tapers and brush painters.
