Painting Day

I am particularly hating this move today. We are patching, sanding and priming the walls today. I haven't done much painting so I'm not very good at it.

Say Good-Bye to the Cranberry walls! Soon they will be Peach Glow. Natural pine floors with trim and doors in a stained wood finish called Gunstock will look great with the new paint. The walls are definitely darker in person. I guess it's the flash. The begonia looks washed out too. It'll look good once I'm finished but that will take a while. We are painting the living room and hall first, then the master bedroom. I don't really care what order we use after that but everything needs a fresh coat of paint.

I am finding beautiful furniture available on craigslist from model homes and high end neighborhoods. We've got something functional for now but I'm going to find some really nice pieces later on.

We have gotten the kitchen and dining room in pretty good shape. There is actually room for the loveseat recliner in here! It doesn't fit in the living room anymore and I remembered Caroline Chisum's chair in the kitchen! We put both inserts into the dining table and suddenly it looks like a home! The china looks really nice in the hutch, too. It is so nice to be able to display it. If I could figure out how to get a second photo in this post, I would add a picture. I've tried and it always goes in beside the other photo. Strange, because I could insert photos wherever I needed to in the posts when I did this for my job!! Of course, that was a different program... I tried to upload a video of the dogs but couldn't get it to work.

Rambling on and on, Yvonne
