A house in turmoil...paint, paint, paint!

Quick update--our house is moving right along with all the stuff we're doing to it. Yesterday, the painters started painting Alexandra's room and Nicholas and Brandon's room. The kids are doing a room-swap. I'm sooooooooo glad we hired reasonably-priced painters to do the job with all the prepping and wallpaper-peeling that went on. They had to prime the walls first, too. Today, they're back and finishing up the two rooms, then moving onto the hallway and staircase. Then, on Monday, they'll paint our master bedroom--we picked "Zen" colors (smile). Should be a wonderful "retreat" when we're done. In a week, we move on to the total recarpeting of our second floor. Lastly, our new bedroom set is delivered. Maria and I have waited oh some 12 years to get all this done--we're quite excited on how this will all turn out. Have a wonderful weekend!
