Surprise!

My sisters and I spent the painting on Wednesday. My stepmom is in Florida for a few weeks and my Dad wanted to surprise her by fixing up the dining room while she was gone. There was wallpaper on these walls and it was time for it to go. Dad took the paper down and Terri, Cheri and I came in and painted today. We ended up painting the hallway too. It was lots of work but it looked so nice when we finished. Ann should be happy when she comes home! Here's Terri, working hard at rolling that paint.


Here's Cheri - cooling off by the patio door. I told her it looked like she was just watching while we worked. Actually, we all worked pretty hard, but had fun too!

  3. I love painting and redoing rooms or whatever needs a change. It is fun to see the end result. When I paint, I crank up the radio and go.

  11. I know it was lots of work, but a true labor of love.
    Do we get to see the finished project and a shot of Ann's face when she sees it?

  14. It was hard work- but fun at the same time.
    Dad said today that he was glad we went darker with the paint color and that he's really happy with it.

  20. What a great picture of Cheri---she didn't even break a sweat!

    Isn't it amazing how much a can of paint can transform things? I'm sure she'll be thrilled and how lucky your dad has 3 daughters to aid him in his surprise!
