Making Progress

It's been crazy around here at the Williams household and I'll be honest, I'm having major writers block as I sit down to write my first post in what feels like months (ironically, we're watching Charlie Kaufman's Adaptation, a humorous film about ... writer's block). You see, my entire existence this past week has been consumed with painting.

Edging.

Rolling.

Touch up.

Repeat.

We had every intention of taking our time to make our house our own, but last week we got a fun surprise from the HUD inspector: our place isn't considered "move-in ready" until every room has a fresh coat of paint on it. And the bank won't release the rest of the funds to our contractor (to pay him and his guys) until painting is complete.

My hands are raw and chapped. Josh and I have been changing into the same painting clothes every day for the past week (next item on to-do list: laundry). Our entire place smells like Sherwin Williams. But it's all finally coming together, and we cannot WAIT to show you some final "Before and After" photos. For now, here's a quick peek at what we've been up to.
