Some Color

Here is the first coat of the primary color for the house.  It is a soft, light grey.  It doesn't look much different than the color of sheet rock, but trust me, it is.  Here seems darker because of the plastic covering all the windows from the spray painting.

We like this type of grey because it changes character with different lighting.

Now you can see the plastic over all the windows.  This is the yellow in my office, as well as the guest bedroom, and the half-bath.  It seems dark but it is much lighter, more the color of butter.  After all of the wood trim and curtains and furniture, it will be a lot less dominant.

All the closets will be a different color - pictures later.

When you visit, this is the guest bedroom.  We had previously painted this room in a more intense yellow because this window faces North.  It keeps the room cheerful.  There will be book shelves in those niches next to the window, beside the bed. 

David spent the day packing up all of the stuff around and under the massive brick bar in the basement.  Soon the bar will be demolished and removed.  There will be more bricks to throw down into the ravine to slow the erosion.

I spent the day cutting back damaged shrubs and moving some perennials that have been in the worker's footpath.  Many plants are starting to put up shoots, which construction workers don't seem to recognize as part of a garden.  Argh!
