We were lucky enough to get permission to start working on the house before closing. The furniture in the house was removed long before we closed, so the house was ready for updates.
The carpet that was formerly in the kitchen, hallway, and top-floor bedrooms was removed. We also pulled out the sea green shag carpet that was in the sun room.
The next step was removing the staples that held the carpet in place in the hallway and top-floor bedrooms. We wore out our hands pulling those out of the floor, but we wanted to remove them before we started painting.
An interior decorator (EA) was brought in as a consultant to help us pick our colors and determine exactly how we're going to configure the house. In an hour, EA and I were able to pick out every color for the house. We will be painting every square inch of the walls and ceiling.
EA provided the following table for each of our rooms:

We started by painting ceilings, first the master bedroom and then the spare bedrooms. The ceiling in the master bedroom is very textured, and it required a few coats before we were comfortable with the appearance.
We also worked on painting the ceiling in the dining room. It doesn't look as good, and it's still in progress.
