Our house is huge and the paint sat there for a couple weeks before I finally broke down and said "lets paint"
Jim said it must have been at least 15 years since the main floor has been painted and we think that was right before it was remodeled and all of the walls were just put up. The walls are perfectly straight and smooth, thank goodness. I took this pic righter after I trimmed it before we started the walls and its such a brighter difference now its all done.
I took these crystals down one by one and cleaned them individually, they shine like diamonds now! The picture hardly does it justice.
