first coat of paint

The first coat of paint went on today and it certainly makes the basement look cozier. We're still on schedule to finish before St. Patrick's Day!

I'm quite happy that our painters selected VOC-free paint, so there are no dangerous chemicals floating in our air. Great choice, especially for kiddos and pregnant ladies.

Paint should be complete by Tuesday and trim should be nearing completion within a week. The doors arrived and are being stained. Cabinets should arrive within 10 days. Quite exciting, indeed!

Edited 2/15/13 to add paint colors. All paints are from Sherwin Williams.
