Guess what I did when Mike was out of town....

 I painted my living room a much lighter color and I am loving it!!!  Brenton helped me with this project since I cannot reach the top of the high ceilings!

 You can see in this picture how dark the walls used to be....so refreshing and brighter now!

 I did have one MAJOR mishap....I dropped a whole tray of paint on the carpet right here, but my friends, Dave and Jolene Clark saved me by coming over and bissel cleaning the carpet until all the paint was gone....I LOVE THOSE TWO!!!
