LIving Room part 2

There was a spot on the wall up near the ceiling (Scott gets to do all the ding and hole fixing) that I aked Scott to sand so it wouldn't be so rough when we painted. When he got up there he discovered that there was a hole in the wall nearly the size of a dinner plate. It had been patched with packing tape and then mudded over. So a wall patch kit alone was out of the question since the hole was so big. My ingenious husband used this sign and then the wall patch grid stuff and then mudded over it. I triple dog dare anyone to come and find where he fixed the wall! Taylor and Carter wanted to paint so badly so we gave them some paint brushes and what started out as regular wall painting turned into a mural.

The finished product. The deer on the top was Scott's contribution. We ended up with some people, a frog face, and a dog/machine gun (depends on which boy you ask).

Here is the finished product. There was too much sun coming in the window for the color to be quite right but at leas you can see it is so much better.


The wall I am still brainstorming about. And yes, I realize that there is a line. But, one room is all we could accomplish in one weekend with 4 little helpers.

Looks good. It is so nice to have color. I am sure you are glad it is done, but I am sure you feel like you have a new house. I feel that way when we paint it just makes a world of difference.

Hope all is well.
