Remodel update

What can make 2 days off fly by? Texturing our wall, another trip to Home Depot, cleaning house, doing ALL the laundry, and visiting with parents. That can make 2 days off seem so short, before we knew it, it was time for Clay to go back to work (and no more summer school for us so we got to sleep in)! The girls have been so good throughout this remodel project of ours. They always keep themselves busy and try very hard not to bother mom and dad while we work. After a couple of hours of silence, we decided that we needed to check on the kids. We had a sheet hanging across the doorway from the kitchen to the living room to help keep the dust in one area of the house. They were just on the other side of the sheet, so it wasn't like we couldn't hear them or see them pass through for a drink or a snack from time to time. I didn't want you all to think I really do deserve the bad mom award!:) This is what they were doing to keep themselves busy.

I decided that they needed a better tent. I took a break from helping Clay to put together a better tent for the girls, then it was back to work! So after a long day of busy work, it was off to Home Depot to get paint!

Well worth the mess, having them happy and entertained!
So here is the wall after one coat of paint. Yes, it is a pale yellow but there are two other colors that will be going on the wall as well. We found a book that had something called a crinkle painting method. That's what we're going to attempt to do with this wall.

When we're done it should look something like this, with slight variation in color.

Hopefully our artistic juices will be flowing and we can make it look like the picture. If not, watch out Tammy because we'll be calling on you to help us (since your wall turned out so nice we just had to copy it)!
