You Want Color??

With a big painting push this weekend, we are in really good shape. The first floor is DONE (priming plus two coasts of finish paint), except for the mudroom and bathroom. On the second floor, everything is primed, and one of the smaller bedrooms is done. We should have it all wrapped up by Wednesday, in time for the guys to come in and start installing trim.

So, you want color?? Loralee wanted to go bold in some areas, so that's what we did. Most of the house is Navajo white, except the sitting area in front of the hearth, and our master bedroom. We chose a terracotta color for the sitting area, which compliments the cherry braces very nicely. It breaks up the first floor, and creates a very warm area for sitting, relaxing, and conversation.

For our bedroom, we went with a sagey green-- And, boy, once we got it on the walls, it's GREEN! It feels very soothing, and really adds to the organic feel of the home. I think once we have our furniture and curtains in, it won't be as overpowering as it feels right now. One other room, the guest bedroom, will also have some color- Lor chose a dusty rose. Once coat is on, and it looks good. We'll see how the final coat comes out.

Michael worked through the weekend, and the heater looks great. The first shelf of the woodbox is done, and the main firebox is framed in. He is pushing to get off the first floor by the end of the week so OSB can lay the finished floor there.

Also, on friday, our well pump was installed and the water connected up in the basement. As soon as it's wired up, we'll have water!

Below are some great photos over the past couple of days. Can you believe the loons? Those were taken at my parents camp on Lake Parker in West Glover. The image of willoughby gap was taken off our front porch.
