1996 vs. 2010

The first week of the new year we had the interior of our house, including the ceiling, repainted to a more updated, modern look. The butter-yellow color wasn't cutting it for me anymore. Not to mention the hand-prints, feet marks, scratches, marker accidents, etc. that were permanently ingrained into the walls. We decided it was time for an update.

And, although it was a chore to take everything off the walls and move all of the furniture into the middle of every room...it was worth it. Besides, we have super cool parents that took us in all week, fed us, watched our children, and gave us a place to hang out while our house was invaded.
