Before and Afters



This is a picture of Raeanne's parents' fireplace before we went to work on our Christmas gift for them. Their walls have not been painted in quite some time, so we painted their house while they were away for a week early in Dec.
This is after the paint job. Notice how much brighter that wall is, sweet!
Maybe the above picture does not illustrate the difference enough, so let us show more:)
This is what the water and rag looked like after we wiped down the walls, before painting.

This is a shot of the dining room...before...
...AFTER.
Here we can see the before and after very well:)
It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too.
And Rae's parents were very appreciative...Merry Christmas Mom and Dad.

Today Owen was playing with a swing we brought out while we were cleaning...

This is a picture of him Sept. 2007, not much playing going on yet...

And this is him now!
He is playing with it and turning it on and off.
Wow!
How they change eh.
Guess he'll be ready to send our new little girl up up and away:)

The walls look so nice. And you're having a girl?!? Did you announce that and I missed it? I didn't know you were that far along already. That is so exciting!!!
