About A Painted House

Thanks for checking out A Painted House!  I’m Kristin, novice DIY-er, mother of James and Edison, wife of Travis, lover of nacho cheese.

This site was created to record all the fabulous, mediocre, and disasterous decorating projects I undertake in my family’s new home.  I’m a novice DIY-er, so there are guaranteed to be plenty of examples of each.   I spend a lot of time in my painting pants (hence the blog title) because a) I’m a messy painter, b) I believe you can paint almost anything, and c) there were 7 periwinkle blue rooms in this house when we bought it. 

You’ll also find updates on our life with two small boys, my attempts at being crafty (as in being creative, not devious), thoughts about our faith, and a healthy dose of  my addiction to garage saling.
