pumpkin repaint

with all the moving about, it was finally time to get the duplex ready to rent.  we did a bunch of cleaning and packing.  looking around the place, we figured a lot of the walls looked great as is.  diana had done a great job of picking some beautiful colors for each room.  the only exception was the living room- it had still been the dark pumpkin color i had painted eight or nine years ago.  the color wasn't bad, but now that the walls were bare, it was obvious that with all the scrapes and bumps on the wall, it was not looking its best.  so, i stopped at the store and picked up a few cans of white paint to cover it over, start fresh in the living room.  i was able to get it done in a couple coats, touching up some of the detail work elsewhere in the house, stuff like door frames and doors.  by the time i was done, which happened to be about one in the morning, the place was looking pretty good!  yikes, tomorrow at work is going to be rough...
