You see, one of the first things we've wanted to do in our new house is repaint the master room closet. There were markings and crayon and all sorts of stuff covering the walls. I just wanted to cover up the markings and caulk a few of the cracks, but Heather wanted to do the whole closet; walls, shelving and all. Painting the whole kitten caboodle turned what I initially estimated as a one to two hour project into a four and a half hour project. Part of the reason it took so long also was the fact that we started off using the wrong paint (the cover said "pure white" but in reality it was a deep purplish gray; not even close). It was also the first time we've done caulking and painting on our own. So it was a bit of a learning experience for us to say the least. Speaking of which, we want to give special thanks to our friend, Adam, who showed us the ropes and got us started off on the right foot.
So we've got one project checked off the list. Only about 10 million more to go!

Way to go on your first home project! You'll be glad you did a great job the first time instead of wishing you had later. It looks great!
Our first painting project was the garage in our base house (it wasn't painted at all). It was good to have a room to learn from before choosing an area that everyone will look at all the time. I know Kyle's room wouldn't have turned out so well if we hadn't had the practice. Now, your other paint jobs will be fabulous! (Not that this one wasn't, but no one will ever know your mess-ups, if there are any, once you put the clothes in.) Okay, now I'm rambling. I suppose I'll just say, congratulations, and good job!
This is Alyson. So many posts to catch up on! The closet looks fabulous, Spanish Heather looks fabulous, your house is great and I can't wait to see the inside of of it soon, and everything else sounds like so much fun!
I glad you have the right team on your shirt Todd :) Congrats on the new house :)
