Home Sweat Home

Today we are going to start painting our new house. Hooray! This is the part I've been looking forward to since it's the last big thing we were going to do before moving in. We are actually way ahead of schedule and I feel pretty good.
We received the keys to our Victorian farmhouse February 28th and so far we have:
Taken down all the nasty pink flowered wall paper that was covering the house
Put Sheetrock on the ceilings
Mudded the walls (they were plaster)
Knocked down the entry way wall to open up the living room
Laid hardwood floors on the lower level

Right now this is such a project that it doesn't feel like this is going to be my home. I feel more comfortable with it since we started working on it, but it's still some getting used to.

Getting back to painting David and I have been able to agree on every color-except the trim! We both want white but I want an antique white and he wants a more classic white. We are actually heading out to Home Dept in a little bit to finalize our choice. This will be interesting...

Antique white vs. classic white? That's the biggest argument you guys have had during the entire remodel? Pardon me while I roll my eyes and laugh hysterically... :)
