Home Sweet Home

So with all the overtime Kevin was working the past month or two, we decided to paint the exterior of our house. Just the stucco and siding, not the trim as that had been recently done, plus we couldn't afford that much. We wanted to give it a fresh look for our next appraisal.

I wish more people would slap a coat of paint on their homes. It's really not that expensive considering the cost of most renovations and it can make a huge difference.

If I ever decide to do this in the future with the second set, I will just buy white ones and pay more! Little did I know that by pressing that little spray can nozzle for hours on end for a whole weekend I'd end up screwing up my bicep muscle for about two weeks after! Not to mention this paint won't even come off with paint thinner. What a mess! Anyhow, at least they look good from a distance! Now I just have to paint some flowers on the wall above the beds and maybe some small butterflies or fairies and finally that unicorn Maddie has been requesting...
