A quick recap

My plan was to go post by post with photos and descriptions of what we've done so far. That just isn't working out for me. So, instead, here is a quick recap.

Downstairs bathroom - done!


Living room and dining room - ceilings painted (a HUGE thanks to MOM for taking on this daunting task), holes patched, window trim painted (thanks again to mom!), walls painted. New light in the dining room. Wood stove hearth being constructed as we speak.



Choosing paint in the dining room turned out to be the hardest color I ever had to pick. I have no idea why, but the room just wasn't speaking to me. It started as white, so we had a blank canvas to work with. I bought "beeswax" and put it on the walls. Sometimes we loved it and it was warm and cozy, other times we hated it and it looked more like earwax. After much deliberation, we decided to repaint it. Now the living room and dining room are both a calm, cozy "misty summer day." Who comes up with these paint names?!



Next on the agenda- upstairs bathroom. We bought all the supplies yesterday. Now it's time for some demo and hopefully a brand new bathroom within a week or 2! No more sponge paint!!
