Finally Painted Grant's Room

It has been pretty cold and rainy this week so I finally tackled an inside project.  When we first moved into the house Grant's room was a "Superman-Spiderman" theme with yellow, red and blue paint on the walls. I completely disliked it, but other things took priority so I didn't get to it till now. It is a thousand times calmer in that room. Amazing what a gallon of paint can do!  

The Primary Colors are 1, 2, 3...

 ...RED, YELLOW and BLUE!

Calmer place to sleep:

The outside of our house!

I know we don't have a lot of readers, but I wanted to let the few of you see pictures of our house.  It was built in 1890, has 4-5 bedrooms and 2 baths. There are 4 fireplaces, but I doubt any of them work. We have lived here for almost 5 months, and although we have not done any major projects, we feel like the house is beginning to look nicer already.  Here is a list of what we have done to the outside:

Tore down old wood fence
Pulled tons of weeds
Planted grass in backyard
Power-washed garage
Painted garage door and trim
Hired tree guy to cut down 6-7 trees
Cleaned a billion spider webs off the house
Attempted to fix leaking gutters
Successfully patched a hole in the roof of the porch
Started painting the trim on the house

I still want to figure out how to successfully fix our leaking gutters, replace the gutters on one side of the garage and finish painting the trim on the bay windows before it gets too cold. Then it is indoor projects until spring!

After the cleaning, scraping, caulking and painting:
