The one overwhelming thing in our house…color, and mainly in the master bedroom. Not only were the walls yellow, they were filled with lovely plastic AND metal anchors, so naturally, I felt the need to pull those out before we repainted.

I had no idea how many I would be patching. When all said and done, I patched about 9 holes per each side of the window, including a few below the window for some strange reason.

So, once we were patched, we were ready to start painting. Luckily this was the easiest decision so far for us, as we painted our current bedroom in our apartment when we first moved in, so we knew exactly what color we wanted. Two cans of Behr’s “Tropical Breeze” paint with primer should do the trick.

But for us, just painting the walls was not enough. It being a new house and all, and we already had the drop cloths down, we did it all, ceiling included.

and the closet doors, because…why not.

and finally, put up some fun new curtains that match our bedding and artwork, and here is what you have:

Not too shabby. One room down, a whole lot more to go!

We just recently bought our first home, and we decided to share our story of our adventures with you. The ups and downs of home ownership, and all the fun we'll have in between. Ignore the typos and just have fun, that's what we're here for.
