Interior painting took place over a couple weeks actually. But I've condensed all the craziness down into these two posts. Seeing the colors go on the wall was the thing that more than anything made this start to feel like a home. So we got three paint colors as part of the "standard" deal. We wanted the kids to have rooms that suited their personalities, though, so we picked out nice pink and blue. We figured it would be a nominal upcharge to add a color. Wow, were we ever wrong.

The painters wanted $300 for each additional color, so $600 to get the kids' rooms painted. What we worked out ultimately was the painters primed the rooms, bought the paint in the colors we wanted, and I did the painting. It took about two full days, plus an hour or so to do touchup later. What a deal.

Actually, since they primed the walls, and the trim was painted already, it wan't too much hassle, definietly less than repainting an existing house (don't even get me started). So we were all cool, and the painter foreman offered me a job after he saw my work, so it couldn't have been that bad a job, right?

So here's the pictures. Mouse over them to see the description.
