A lot of sweat and tears

This is Kali's room. It is not as bright as the picture looks it is more pastel. I'm excited to finish this one I have lots of ideas. But I left my mom's saw and sander back in Utah. I am going through withdrawals. I am going to paint clouds on the ceiling but I am scared I am going to mess it up. If any one has any tips please send them this way.
It is hard to see but this is my red kitchen. I love it, it was a pain though I don't know who has painted with dark red but this included one coat of tinted primer and three coats of paint and it really probably could have used one more coat. But it was worth it.
This is Tanner's half.
Kaden's room. I was really impressed with this one. It is so fun to change the look of a room with just a little paint , ok a lot of paint. It makes the room much more cozy.
The dinning room. It's not blue any more. It's still kind of empty but anything is better than what it was. We want to get a new chandelier.
This is the upstairs bathroom. I wanted to make it cute for the kids, but I couldn't find a shower curtain that I liked. I had some leftover blue paint from kali's room so I decided to use it we are starving students you know. I think it turned out pretty cute very bright and not my normal style but I think I like it.
I wanted to show you what I have been up to . We have been so busy, Kevin has started school, so he is gone from 5:30 in the morning to when ever the library closes either 8:00 or 10:00 or sometimes 12:00 depending on the day. To say the least he is very stressed out this week he has his first tests. The kids are still hating school but are hanging in there. I have been keeping myself busy making our house look nicer. The walls were awful it felt like they had just been primed and not painted so for the last 3 weeks I have been painting I am almost through. My mom was very anxious to see the progress so far so here it is. You will have to go back to my older posts to compare.

I love the colors!!! Great job! I especially love the kitchen wall. That's what I wanted to do in my kitchen, but Allen said no way!

Love the house. Looks like you guys were busy. I keep thinking about you. We are moving to Alaska and it had been really hard on me. I just keep thinking, "if Kim can move to a new place then I can do it too!"So wish me luck.
