Ryan is finally back from four weeks on the road. The Woodward household is happy again. Franco and Lola were thrilled to see him. I think they like me alright, but they love Ryan.
I was able to get a lot painted while Ryan was out of town, but I really wanted to get some more done before he saw the house. I was envisioning a Extreme Makeover: Home Edition moment. Sans Ty Pennington. So,ย I brought in reinforcement.
Meet the A-team. My mother and father-in-law are crazy enough to agree to help me with painting, plumbing, electrical… they are the best.
I think this may be my favorite room (for now). I can’t wait for new windows.
So, that was the week in review. Paint, paint, lights and a toilet.
And when Ryan walked through the house, his reaction was totally Ty Pennington-worthy. He was happy with his wife and her crew. And that makes me happy, too.
Here’s the updated house list.
What do you think?

Love love loving those paint colors! The bathroom is really coming together and the paint complements the light fixtures perfectly. And that dining room…wow. It is really starting to come together!
Shannon says
You made some exxxcellent choices in paint colors my friend. I totally didn’t expect that dining room color but I love it long time. And your use of Gravity may have just sold me. I’ve had the paint chip taped to the wall for about 2 weeks now.
How awesome is it to have such awesome helpers too? You’re a lucky gal.
Mom says
The dining room puts HGTV to shame! Atta girl Kim & crew. I’m very proud of you daughter. I can’t wait to see it all in person!
