The upstairs carpeting needs to go . . .

. . . . so we start this house project by painting the downstairs!

Bryant painting the downstairs accent wall.

At the top of those stairs is another living room area and it has the nastiest carpeting you have ever seen.  Well, maybe I shouldn't go that far, but it's worn out.  Since the house also needed a new paint job, it only made sense to paint first. But the upstairs and downstairs living room spaces share some of the same walls, so the downstairs needed to be painted at the same time.  And with the upstairs open floor plan, we decided to put the same flooring and paint into the kitchen area. Suddenly changing out 300 sq ft. of carpeting has turned the whole house inside out.
