6 gallons of paint later...

And our house looks GREAT! Our walls in the living room, kitchen, entry way, hallway, and one wall in the dining room have been off white since we moved in. I have done all the other rooms myself but this amount of space and the high ceilings was just too much for me to take on myself. So I hired Jose, a painter recommended to me by three of my friends. He did a great job and was VERY reasonable. I even did the prep work myself, like taping off around the moldings (I never want to see a roll of blue tape AGAIN!!) but it was worth it cause it saved me $100. Jose and his two helpers were able to get the whole house done on Saturday. Now our white moldings really look white and "pop" from the warm khaki walls.

Here are some pictures...




Our moldings and doors look so white now!





And when Jose was painting the walls around our stairs, I snapped a picture...

Balancing a ladder on stairs and reaching to where the wall meets 16 ft celing....no thanks.

Ole for Jose!!!
