John and I are definitely the persons who adore change... explains one of the reasons why over the past eight years we have never lived in the same place for over two of those years! December 30 of this year we will have been in Nampa for 2 years! (With no plans of leaving! Sorry Grandma! Crazy I know!) But the fact hasn't changed that around this time we begin to itch for change. So instead of packing up and closing our eyes while we point at the map for our next destination... We headed to Home Depot, approx 7miles away! It's amazing what a couple of cans of paint, some clearance plants, and rearranging of the furniture can do! We feel like we're in a new place! =)
So yesterday we began the process of change, and it feels so good! Of course Hannah needs to be part of our projects so she sat high above the safe floor and handed John paper towels and any other necessities he might need to prep the walls.
Hannah couldn't have been more excited that she was able to help her Dad with such a grown-up project! She's getting so big!
Hannah even got to help paint the walls herself! So excited!
This is the picture where Hannah is claiming Child Labor! Ha! Don't let that look fool you, she was thrilled! So we are taking this process in stages... 1-2walls per night (all we are painting is the family room/kitchen, but the house has tons of separate walls, nooks, etc.. don't have 12 full hours to paint non-stop anymore!). When we finish I'll post some pictures of the final product!

Although we've never closed our eyes and pointed at a map, we do enjoy painting every once in a while too! I especially enjoy when Jeff goes out of town and I paint a room! (My eyebrows are moving up and down!) You're right, paint is good, cheap (relatively), change!
How fun! We are on a mission to paint our house too but you're right...take it one wall at a time:) I trimmed our bedroom for 3 days during Canyons nap and Greg and I rolled the rest on another nap...4 easy walls...lots of steps. I really think that's the way to do it...much more rewarding:) Good luck! Can't wait to see the final project.
