painting the house

We are going through the house one room at a time painting and redoing. Our way of making the house we have rented for the past 2 years feel more like ours.

We started in the dinning and have now moved on to the living room. At this point I think I may be done. LOL We were having such a hard time with the trim and paint not going on smoothly. After buying 3 cans of white paint I realize (thanks to a friend) that the paint on the trim and chair rails must be an oil based paint. Went to get an oil based white paint and there you have it.

My mom was watching the girls all weekend so that we could paint and we didn't discover the problem until sunday morning. I felt so bad to have to ask her if she wouldn't mind keeping them longer because the fumes from the oil based paint was horrible. We finally got it done but the house still really stinks.

How am I going to continue with this through out the rest of the house???
