Painting Window Sills

Oh hi there! :) We are just cranking along with house projects over here.  I decided not to posts about re-caulking our basement shower or watering our grass seed 3 times a day... not everything in a house remodel is "picture worthy" or fun.    I am not sure if this project is really post worthy either, so I want to go ahead and apologize for my mediocrity.  Now if you are in the same situation as we were and experiencing the "ugly window sill syndrome" you are in the right place! Our house window sills were very nasty looking...

I am not sure how someone could ever think this looks good... We thought about ripping them out and replacing them with new wood sills and trim.  After some research I decided that would be a major project and at this point were looking for the best and most efficient fixes. 

Our windows sills are now so much cleaner and prettier.  :) All we did was paint 2 coats of oil based primer and 2 coats of Benjamin Moore Dove White.  It only took us one night and a morning to finish.  When I say us, I mean my awesome friend Jill :)

Jill not only is beautiful, but also super handy {Jill - start blogging again, pleeeeease}!

Another project I am super excited about is our kitchen counter tops. We have been working on them in the basement and should be installing them next week.  Wooo hoooo!!!

I hope y'all have a fantastic week and Fourth of July!  :)
