Firemist and Waffles

Oh what a difference a couple hours, a willing husband, and a gallon of paint can make for a kitchen!  But that's not where this weekend began.  My Mama spent the night with me on Friday night while my sweet husband was at work.  We decided to go grab some dinner after class at The Loop Pizza Grill and then we made the trek into Walmart for a movie to watch.  Not only did we come out with a new movie (Pitch Perfect...which was hilarious by the way), but we also got a waffle iron!  I was so excited to make waffles that I walked out without waffle mix...but there was no way we were going back in there!

While my mom was with me, I decided I wanted to paint my kitchen...red!  You see, our kitchen and eating area are really just one big room with only a bar to differentiate between the two.  I thought painting the eating area a different color would separate them and make them look like more individual spaces.  So on Saturday afternoon, Mama and I went to Lowes to pick up some paint swatches and start the decision making process.  I grabbed close to twenty swatches and brought them home to test them out and see which color tickled my fancy.  After much deliberation, I chose an Olympic paint color called Firemist.  I ran the idea past the ol' hubby and he agreed to help me if that's what I wanted...which is aways a good answer from him.

So this morning when my wonderful husband returned home from 48 straight hours of working, I got up and got busy making some waffles...yes, I went back to the store to get waffle mix!  Our waffles were delicious and the babies even had some too and loved them!  Then we showered up, got dressed, and headed out to get all the things we would need to complete our project.  We returned home and, paint brushes in hand, we got busy or as Justin said, "Let's get on a roll!"...hehe!

After a couple hours, we had the entire room taped off, edged out, and painted.  I must say, I am quite satisfied with the end results of our renovation. 

We let the babies in when we finished painting and they love it...especially Gracie!!
