Yay! It is a nice feeling when everything is painted in a nice new color that you've chosen. We lived with the ugliest sponge-painted maroon/yellow/teal walls in our second home for years because I assumed my kids would try to draw on the wall. They never did so we finally got out the paint brushes and drop cloths and painted it ourselves when they were in elementary school.
But I totally get where you're coming from as prior to that, we had only painted a house before moving in or after moving out. It is a hassle lugging the heavy furniture into the middle of the room and shuffling stuff into another room (only to shuffle it back later so you can paint that second room, too!).
