So Sunday afternoon, we began taping and covering with plastic --- after a few late nights the project is done! We painted the entry way (the tiny little space between the two front doors - not the whole foyer, which is a much larger project that will involve some wallpaper removal and plaster repair and THEN paint) and the living room walls and ceiling. Oh and the radiators, too!
Radiator before:
and after!
So before we could begin the painting of the walls, there were lots and lots of holes and a few cracks that needed some attention. Plaster is kinda high maintenance... 
So we got the whole family involved!
First, Jack shows off his dry wall/plaster skills:
Yes - in his unbuttoned one-sie... Nice.
Ella chose her feety-jammies as wall repairing attire...
And Meg is chillin' in her soccer shirt...
Here are some action/before shots ---
In some of these, I am working on painting the ceiling while Dave and the kiddos finish repairing the walls and getting them ready to paint.
And here are some "almost finished" pictures... With these you can get an idea of the colors we chose (Claire de Lune on the walls and Calm Air on the ceiling) --- today I've been working on cleaning woodwork and will oil it all tonight. Can't wait to get the furniture and stuff back in the room and not stacked on top of each other in the foyer!!! :)

Such gorgeous architectural design in your home! Good work on the paint, Hubert's! :)
Sa-weet! Can you come paint my interior doors now? Um, and my baseboard? And my trim? That should be it. Everything looks fresh and clean at the Hubert Establishment. Good job!
Love the colors you used. They are much better than the green that was in there. Looks good.
wow missi! it looks amazing! i love the contrast of the walls and the wood... the ceiling looks great too! (i must admit that i HATE painting ceilings and closets come in a close second)... can't wait to see it again in person one of these days!
