On a YouTube video, Sue, who stars on Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting, shared: “Hi everyone. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I imagine it’s probably better than mine.

“I’m decorating everything this weekend.

“We’re finally able to do this because we’ve been really busy lately: filming, traveling on the weekends and stuff like that.

“We had to restrain ourselves from traveling in the van this weekend just so we could get on with some things. jobs.”

Sue told how they would deal with one of the boys’ rooms, one of the girls’ rooms and their hallway and stairs.

Although the busy mom initially admitted she couldn’t decide on colors, she ended up opting for a very bright paint.

They got to work and painted the boys’ room blue and the girls’ room a warm pink shadow, while the hallway was an elegant gray.

Sue explained: “Well, we’re bold and bright in the house, aren’t we?

“We’re going for vibrant, bright colors.”

Noel, who supports his family with his pie shop, joked: “They won’t make it to sleep at night these children. It will be illuminated.”

Despite his hesitation about the color, Sue was pleased with their hard work.

She added to the camera: “So we’re done here, we just need to paint this ceiling here, I want to buy a new lamp for there, but other than that we’re done.

“It looks much better.

“The paint is still drying there, but it looks a lot better.

“It looks so much better, so much fresher and just good.”

The family may have been happy with the end result, but they certainly had a hectic time while painting.

The family dog, Bluebell, ended up covered in pink paint, leaving the family in crisis.

The Radfords were thinking about moving to a more isolated house, but Sue revealed that the purchase “didn’t work out” and that the couple changed their minds.

After that, the family recently shared how they’re beginning to embark on the “big task” of “redecorating the house” — and a new paint job is just the start of their big plans.

Sue had already taken it to Instagram to share how the first room they would tackle would be the lounge.
