now that's love

When we moved into our home three years ago, there were a few things I did not love about the house. But there wasn't anything I disliked more than the color on the walls. Blah. Justin, on the other hand really didn't mind the color at all. Three years later, I somehow convinced him that it needed to change. And not just the paint, but to add some character as well. He has spent hours these past few weeks making that change happen. He spent that time making our home how I would like it because he knew it would make me happy. Seriously, that's love.

We were going to go for a warm gray throughout the home, but thanks to my wise sister (who is always my go to when it comes to home projects) and her talented friend, they convinced me to go bold. Go for color. I am still a little shocked that Justin loves it. 

When Levi saw me painting the wainscoting white, he told me, 
"Mom, stop painting everything in our home white. Why can't you paint it black!"
But when he saw the blue go on. We had his full approval. 
 ^^ Justin built this awesome ladder extension. This way the ladder wasn't leaning against the wall while painting. No worries, I was completely safe. I only look super awkward because I was 8 feet off the ground. ^^ 

Still so weird walking into the family room and seeing this, but I am not missing that orange beige wall one bit.
 Now Justin is building a new desk with drawers and a cabinet for our computer area. Seriously, it's love I tell ya.
