Our living room comes together... finally!

Unfortunately, the paint drama continued before this was all said and done. Brad picked up the re-mixed, darker color. Since Friday was company holiday for me, Brad also took off so we could work on the house. He painted over all of the spots and edging. However, something still wasn't right. I tried hard to convince him that it was just visible to him, because he was the one that painted it. He wasn't convinced.

As I started looking closer, I realized the color was correct but the finish wasn't... they had used the wrong base for the paint! That made all of the new paint shiny compared to the original paint! UGH. So, we loaded up and headed BACK to Home Depot which a fire in our belly to get this correct once and for all!! Over an hour later of going back and forth with the Paint Department and a Manager, and they FINALLY understood what was wrong and how to fix it. Seriously frustrating. By the time we left, we had a gallon of the corrected paint, a new brush I need for trim and a gallon of the color we will be painting the kitchen. Certainly not repayment for all of our lost time, but it helped.

So, finally, as the paint went on the walls, it looked right.

Helping Brad with the re-touch up.

They were not amused...

Brad had also pulled up all the carpet and started on the pad.

Saturday we had help coming in to put down our new laminate flooring!!
