House Update Day 7

We accomplished a ton on Day 7 of THE HOUSE. We had Mike & Mindy & Drew's friend John, Craig & Karol & all of the kids working on it. Almost all of the painting is done in the whole house. The tile is cut & laid. We are making great progress. This is the playroom. The paint dried and actually looks purple instead of like chocolate now.
This is my pink scrapbook room. So pretty in pink.
Katie's room. She chose the colors to match her bedspread.
The kitchen with the tile.
Poor Baby Hyrum wondering what the heck is going on......
Mackenzie's room. It's hard to see the color, but she picked Tinkerbell Green. The kids helped paint their own rooms.
This is the tile in the formerly moldy bathroom. Mindy helped Drew clean off the grout.

Kennedy's room with the bay window & the yellow paint color she chose herself.
These are the colors that will be in mine & Drew's bedroom. The green color is called "Drew". So naturally we had to pick that color! The brown is chopstick.
Katie & Hyrum.
A better view of the paint color in our bedroom-the Drew green.
A close-up of our bathroom tile. It looks more yellow in the picture than it actually is. It's more gray.
The entrance from our bedroom into our bathroom.
Drew's office.
Mike put down all of the tile in the kitchn. Without his help we would still be laying tile for the next 2 weeks.
Mackenzie painting her own room.

Her hands got tired, so she delegated her painting to Jacob. He painted most of Mackenzie's room & half of Kennedy's room!
Rachel helped Katie paint her room. I say helped, but really Katie just delegated the whole thing to grandma & Rachel & stood around supervising!!!!!!
But I did manage to get a picture with a paintbrush in her hand.
Jacob painting Kenzie's room.

Hannah wanted to help paint too, so Kennedy let her paint her walls. She did a pretty good job!


The paint in our bathroom is a shade lighter than Drew Green. It looks really good with the white tub & silver in the room. It's going to be so great to finally have a master bathroom & a walk in closet. I have waited 16 years for this!!!!!!


Kennedy chose Manchu for her wall color. She wanted it to look beachy, but it was brighter than she expected. However, I think she is going to like it.

Drew measuring the kitchen tile to cut. John did most of the cutting of the tile & I just accidentally erased the picture I took. Again, without his help we would have had another week of work with Drew having to do it all by himself! So thanks everyone for your super hard work. I also just realized I don't have pics of Craig & Karol, but they have done most of the painting in the house, so thanks a bunch everyone! We couldn't have gotten this far without you!!!!!

I like all the colors. Very sharp. Elissa loves the Tinkerbell room. It's her favorite. Kenza-pootie has great taste.

It looks like everything is going great! I love all the colors too. I find it very fun that you found a Drew green, how cool.
