101 Things To Do in 1001 Days: 19) Finish painting the interior of the house (in progress)

Over Memorial weekend '09 we decided to finally paint our master bedroom! Neither of us have painted before in our lives so it was interesting to say the least. But we LOVE the way it turned out!! Hopefully I'll have a picture to add soon.

We plan to paint the last room that needs it--the spare bedroom--once we get pregnant and know the sex (we aren't finding out until after the birth though)... so this task probably won't be finished for awhile.
