Perhaps the biggest task on the list was repainting the kitchen, bedroom and hallway. None of which would have been accomplished if not for an enthusiastic friend who loves to paint. She did most of the work. I made her lattes and helped.
Our bedroom is the brightest. We painted three walls yellow and one wall orange. The orange was her idea and I LOVE IT. I'm even considering repainting our hallway that same color. Right now it is a lovely green but the color is not working for me as an extension off the kitchen.
Pablo and I have moved back into our original room which Sahara kicked us out of at age 9 months. She and Lydia are sharing the big room now (it is working out better than we anticipated) in the back of the house.
Lydia has taken up napping on our bed up front.
I took this photo yesterday - the wall isn't true to the orange I see with my eyes, but it gives you an idea.
