I know it took forever for the pics and most of you have already seen what it looks like by now, but here they are anyway. Thanks so much to everyone who came and helped, it would never have gotten done (and not nearly as well) if it had just been Enoch and me. Also, a special thanks to Jodi for that homemade lasagna on moving day, it was superb! And, of course Rachel, and Skip and Scott for being there every day while we were painting and moving and unpacking!
Our living room before we filled it with stuff. I love how the "Bermuda" blue turned out, it's bold and serene at the same time
Our bedroom before we filled it with stuff. I wanted it to look like we were in a forest, and I think the color worked out perfectly
Our kitchen, after we filled it with stuff. We wrapped the blue around the entire south side of the condo, I love how it looks against the cabinets, too.
Practically everyone knows about this already, but two days after we got the place, I accidently tipped over a bucket of paint that I didn't realize wasn't sealed. It only tipped for a second, and I picked it back up. Most of it spilled on the dropcloth, but a pretty good amount of it also got on our pretty beige carpet. See the wall under the window? Before Kris and Rachel mopped as much paint off the carpet as they could, only the trim and the side of the window were blue... they were able to transfer that much paint from the floor to the wall with paper towels! And the spot was still that dark!!!
Kris and Rachel looking up how to remove paint from carpet while I laugh becuase I couldn't cry
The guys came over to help clean it up and get supplies
And that is after about 3 hours of scrubbing...Mostly done by Enoch, Rachel, and especially Tom Mayfield who got a suprising amount out after I had given up!
And now, a short video of the "Awkward Tour". I kifed that from Dan and Jen; it's awkward because not everything is unpacked and random stuff is all over, and it's usually pretty messy.

Congrats on the new home! Wish I were there to contribute to lasagna and all that jazz, maybe could even paint, but its a long drive from West Virginia!
And to think I still remember you all from high school dances. :)
