Painting the bedrooms

Almost two years ago to the day, Ben and Laura moved into their first home. Today, Justin and I went to visit their new digs, and to help get some paint on the walls.

The movers had all their stuff stored, and were delivering the furniture tomorrow morning, 8 AM. So… we had an evening to get three bedrooms primed and painted.

We got to meet several of their friends, who stopped in and helped out over the course of the night. I took some photos, but not a ton since… well, I didn’t know everyone, and it felt a bit rude. That said, I did get to talk with several folks, and had some great conversations.

I’ve never really done much painting until tonight. It seems like a really fun thing, but then again – we had a ton of people helping out. I’m sure if it’s one or two people, painting can get to be super tedious. But overall – tonight, it was a fun, social thing, and didn’t feel like work at all.

This, to me, is a perfect image for the evening. This embodies the whole “moving in” feel, and something about it just fits. I don’t know what all we played tonight, but I’m fairly certain that Ben threw in the newest Damien Jurado album at the start of the evening – great stuff to listen to, as we were working.
