Painting and cleaning

Well, they finished the work at our house.

While the furniture was rearranged, and plastic still up, we decided to paint some walls ourselves, over the course of a few days.









We painted the kitchen an olive green.





























Then we painted an accent wall in the living room a light tan:




















We started painting the bathroom this color:







We quickly realized our mistake when it looked like we used mustard to paint with, so we changed it to a light blue instead:






























We still want to paint a little bit more, but we're taking a break for now.  Besides that, we've been trying to clean up after all of our repairs.  With all of the drywall that they did, they left a layer of dust everywhere.  We still haven't brought back in half of our stuff from the garage where we moved it during the repairs either.













-and I can't blame this one on the workers, but have you ever seen a mismatched sock pile this big?  I had a few different bags of socks without a mate, and I decided to finally combine them and find some matching pairs.  This gives you a clue at how efficient I am at staying on top of household chores (not).
