Home Remodeling Update

We have been working real hard the last week on completing some of our home remodeling tasks, mostly painting, but also some electrical changes and replacing the old patio drapes with new vertical blinds. So here, in no particular order, is some of what we have been doing.

The Old Dining Room Ceiling Fan. Also note the off-white EVERYTHING paint.



The New Dining Room Fixture and Tan Paint with White Ceiling


We started by painting the ceilings a much better white. The painting project had its "moments". I had just finished painting the hall gray and was half way through the family room when Missy yelled "STOP. It's Purple!" She was right, the "gray" paint was drying purple. Do over...

Purple Hall


Purple Family Room


The purple had to go, so we made a trip to our local hardware store and bought "Papala", a brown-tan color. The results were much better!

We watch a little too much HGTV and TLC, so we had to add an accent wall!






The Kitchen is Now Blue. Missy added stickers to the existing tile to spruce it up.






The New Microwave


So that is what we have been up to. Here are a few more random shots of how it all came together.

Dining Room


Foyer. We don't think the original "green" paint we chose works any longer. That will be a near future project to repaint it and the stairs going down to the basement.
