What a busy weekend

So with every single weekend in September already booked for us, we decided to do a little home care this weekend. I had the bright idea of painting our dining room with a horizontal strip going all the way around the room. Next time I have the idea of painting a strip, someone please shoot me! I LOVE how it turned out, but the worst part about it was that the paint bled under the tape so I had to touch up the entire thing by hand. Oh well. I really just wanted to get it done before Adam's parents come to visit for Labor day! The other thing we decided to do was see what would happen when we took down the paneling in our entry way and hall way. This was NOT a good idea at all. We have now figured out that we will have to mud our walls with like 4 coats of joint compound. Needless to say, this will not be done before Adam's parents get here. I have no idea when we are going to have time to finish this now, hopefully we can get it done during the week in the coming weeks!
