Welcome!

After much deliberating, I've decided to start a blog. Jerad and I are so proud of our first home. We are constantly working to improve it, so we thought we'd share our journey with you. Happy renovating!

All in a can of paint

When we first moved into our house, we had an interesting color scheme...orange, hot pink, dark blue, purple, green....the list goes on.  Needless to say, Jerad and I wanted to change EVERY color on EVERY wall!  Since we didn't have furniture to fill most of the rooms, we decided to paint everything in neutral, natural tones until we got ourselves settled/ bought some furniture/ developed each room. 

See below for some before and afters (all the before's are from the previous owner).  I think we bought 25 galloons of paint during the first two weeks living at the house.  Thank goodness for Sherwin Williams!
