The color is on most of the walls and the crown molding has been painted. It looks wonderful! Fernando, our friend and painter, doesn't always agree with my color choices, but neutral colors are about all I have left in me at the moment. All the design decisions have come crashing dwon at one time and I am on "Designing Women" overload. The answer today is "paint it all Gobi Desert beige" and move on. I feel a little like Scarlett O'Hara in saying, "fiddle-dee-dee, I shall worry about that tomorrow." But I DO love the dark, peacock blue I picked out for the powder room. Go crazy, right? I am also liking the haint blue on the dining room ceiling. I fully plan on painting my porch ceilings a similar color... southern tradition, you know.
Tiling is fun... for about the first 30 minutes. After that, you find yourself wondering why you didn't hire someone else to do it. But then you realize that it will get done the way you want it to be done, if you do it yourself. Teddy and I have spent the last several evenings, after work, sitting on a the floor and working in the fading sunlight and mosquito farm to get the various bathrooms and wash rooms all tiled. I think I am falling out of love with beige tile, too.
With the upcoming holiday, I hope to get a lot more done to met our late July move-in timeline. We'll see!
