When we repainted the entire interior of our home, we also did a lot of "eating out!" Not a fun thing to do, so I feel ya on that!!! As for the textured ceilings, you're right, it is quite a messy job to undertake {they were the "hard/petrified" acoustic ceilings vs. the soft ones}, so we had to hire professionals to handle it correctly - one of the investments we don't regret! :)A Cozy Cottage in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682860006721913633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782000723415583178.post-16988181651854794712011-10-19T15:32:53.005-07:002011-10-19T15:32:53.005-07:00Love how you used the black and white for the befo...Love how you used the black and white for the before photos.

I do feel for you, Jessie, because our kitchen is a total mess. Since ordering food every night is breaking us...you have to see me running from room to room trying to find a certain pot or dish or spoon. I was not organized about this at all!! Hopefully it will be over soon. You are doing a lot more work than I am...feel good about yourself.<br /><br />Cute idea doing the before pictures in black and white!!<br /><br />XO,<br />JanieBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782000723415583178.post-24481660642381047742011-10-19T13:42:19.355-07:002011-10-19T13:42:19.355-07:00Thank you all for the constant encouragement, it r...Thank you all for the constant encouragement, it really helps to know that there is "a light at the end of the tunnel!" :)<br /><br />@Stacey: I'm sure your hubby is just as handy! :) The hubs & I started out just knowing basic stuff, and together we had to learn as we go!

I know what it's like living out of boxes, but having to re-do everything in the house must be so stressful! <br />But just know that one day soon, all of your hard work will be done and you will have the home of your dreams that you and your husband did all yourselves.
