A Touch of Color

Tony and I just Finished painting the bathroom. It may need more work, but I hope not because we are nearly out of that paint color.
I also installed the tracks and standards for the closet Elfa system. I was able to by a pretty cool set up, repurposing some components from our current closet that will be unnecessary when we switch rooms. The Container Store fortunately extended there elfa sale this year so I was able to get a pretty cool system for not much and we will be able to have a very organized closet.
Two weeks ago we painted the kitchen and bedroom. the kitchen just got the same dark grey blue "Wall Street" color that our whole dining/kitchen area is.
The Bedroom has three walls with a linen color "City Loft," and the wall behind our bed is a near black color "seal skin."
We will need to do some touch ups, but as the workers aren't particuarly careful, we will just wait until they are out of here.

Last weekend I did the Hill Country Ride after those days of painting and a 6 hour photo event the night before the ride.

They started working on the floor in the kitchen, but that really isn't moving a long, and I am not really sure why we are still waiting for things to happen in all areas.
Frustrating...

They need to...
install and stain the kitchen floor
install kitchen cabinets
install/finish all electrical fixtures
finished plumbing in kitchen and bathroom
get the new laundry room set up
get new tankless water heater working and remove old tank
finish the roof
and finally lots of odds and ends fixing the rest of their errors and incomplete projects.

We all will be very glad to have our home seem like a home again and be all by ourselves.

Front Door




My first real refinishing project has gone well. Only a bit of polyurethane in my hair.
Took most of the day yesterday to sand the nasty green paint off the door.
The new fixtures still need to be put on but the poly is still drying and may take a third coat.

Wet Paint

We picked some sherwin williams colors, peppercorn, wool skein and grandiose.
The dark isnt as dark as we thought nor is the green as bright but i think it will be nice all the same.The door will of course get stained dark, and the mailbox and dustpan won't just be sitting there.
