For Christmas this year my parents volunteered to paint our living room, which is something that Tara had been wanting to do for a few years now. They started on November 16th and were finished on the 20th. It took Tara and I a few days to get furniture and stuff back in the room (and I suppose that we aren't totally settled). We are very pleased with the outcome. A big "Thank You" to my parents for all of their hard work! (A quick note: Please ignore all of the little spots in the pictures. They are not problems with our walls - I realized after looking at the pictures on the computer how dusty my camera lens had gotten. It is clean now!)
