JRC's Nightmare on Elm Street - Continued

[Fanner (WavyGlass)]

Lookin' good JRC! So glad to see the progress. I LOVE the blue/green color - will you paint the ceiling white? So pretty, and really shows off the woodwork!

[JRC]

Thanks!

Yes, I like white ceilings, so they'll all probably be white.

More painting: (although, my camera didn't seem to capture the colors too well. )

Front parlor:

(what can be seen of the color is fairly accurate in this shot)




NW bedroom/future office:



SE bedroom, which will be my bedroom, in progress: (hope the color doesn't keep me awake! )

JRC, it's amazing what some elbow grease soapy water and a coat of paint will do. Puts whole new life into your home.

This weekend, I painted the kitchen cabinets:



I also painted the downstairs bathroom:

Because, I like to paint the ceilings white first, I bought a quart of kitchen/bath paint that, without tint, I assumed was white. Instead if was like painting with milk, so I mixed it with some old, leftover kitchen/bath paint I had from the current house, and painted the walls first.

I'm also continuing to add some homey touches, like curtains.


Sorry for the blur, but this most accurately captured the colors.

And finally, the city is becoming very impatient for exterior improvements. So, even though I can't really afford it, I have a verbal agreement with a neighbor to do a quick paint job on the house. I also ordered the new porch columns:


One of the bases hiding behind the columns:

Its really coming alone nicely. Today I moved some curtains into my bedroom project and it instantly became "homey", so I know how that feels! I like your colors.

Thanks! It is amazing how big some small changes/additions feel.

I'm looking forward to the porch restoration.

I wouldn't call that easily distracted, just observant.
