We are down to 5 days before we move in and A LOT has been happening at the little white house. I thought I'd start with the biggest room in our home, the living room. The walls were sloppily painted an aqua color and the floors were a vinyl peel & stick that made a funny sound when you walked on them. All of the baseboards, heating vents and some outlet covers were also missing.

The day we got our keys, David already had all of the vinyl flooring pulled up and by the next day, I had the ceilings and entry closet painted. We also primed the walls twice before painting. I plan to post photos of the finished living room with the color we chose after the floors are installed next week. Here is a sneak peek of the living room before wall color and after the ceilings were painted. Plus, there's a random bathroom vanity in our living room, along with the old (very crusty) stove and old dishwasher.

We chose a no VOC/low odor primer and no VOC/low odor paints for the entire house by Yolo Colorhouse, which is available online from Home Depot.
Primer: Yolo Colorhouse Inspired
Ceiling: Yolo Colorhouse Flat Air .01
We are having laminate flooring installed by Home Depot. Also in the plans are priming and painting all of the woodwork white, adding white baseboards, painting the front door white, and new light fixtures.
Next up, I'll share the kitchen tomorrow.
