New Project

I have been busy all week, or at least part of the week painting. Ryan finally caved and let me go to Lowe's and get some paint. So I got my gallon of paint (light brownish) , glaze and painters tape. I already had some brushes.
I like to do the textured stuff on some of my walls. Well I have done the two big walls in my great room and have hardly used any of paint. But I just love what it has done to warm up the room. It is such a big room with lots of light but it was almost to bright. Now it is warm and comfy.
With so much paint left over we or rather I am going to mix the brown with a little bit of white to lighten it a shade and do the other walls in the room plus the hall way to help give it some dimension.
I was going to post some pictures but I wanted to wait until it is all finished, which should be by Tuesday if I have my way.
I was all I could do not to paint yesterday but I've let the house go this week painting and needed to clean, shop, etc. Then of course today is Sunday and I can't really paint today being the Sabbath. But I think after I drop Ethan off at school I will be back at it.
Oh - Those Granquist's out there mark your calendars!! We are going to do Halloween at our house this year. Trick or treating, food fun, etc. Then if Katie wants to do it at her house next year, cool. I just figured that Rhonda needed to have a break and enjoy the day. Anyone else who is with in driving distance that would like to come too, your invited (Micky), and if Liz is planning on coming over too, wonderful. Just leave me a comment to let me know.
So watch for the picture by Tuesday, Okay!!

Good for you painting. It will change the look of your house and make it feel cozy.
As for Halloween....we'll have to pass. Mike works and doesn't get home until almost 7 p.m. We wouldn't get to your house until almost 8. Have fun without us.
