After we had the new HVAC system installed, there were big patches on our walls and our long-awaited plan to paint kicked into high gear. We also covered up the old air vents and thermostat and got a referral for a local painting company.

I underestimated the amount of work to decide on the exact paint color, and how much moving and packing we would need to do. It was pretty exhausting. But after about a week, it all went back together - including some lighting repairs that Katie did.

It's so much brighter and feels practically brand new.
