Looking Good in the Neighborhood!

Well it took a lot of work from a great team but the sheet rock and mud are up, the color scheme decided and most of the paint is on the walls!! Whew! Thanks to Marcel, (who knew a professional chef could swing a paintbrush as well as a knife) the tippy top of the walls were done. Over the weekend sister Trisha once again donned her work clothes and rather than load dumpsters, rolled and rolled and rolled. As you'll see the downstairs is a sandy beige through out the entry, kitchen, living room and hallway. Daniel's room, as painted mostly by him, is the dark blue/grey. Dark, go figure! The upstairs reflects the sense of being in the trees by being greenish but w/a blue tint as the master bedroom and bath will be the touch of Hawaii Colleen loves so much. All the color's match the woodwork, fabric samples and such thanks to neighbor Trish. What an eye for color, the more we painted the more we liked our choices! This week the cabinets are due to be delivered and installed, the doors and woodwork are schedules for the 23rd and the carpets for upstairs and the downstairs bedrooms are scheduled for the 26th. Arne's trying hard to make it livable by the fourth of July. Check out the slide show; Mud and Paint Fun, and look for the surprise photo slipped in. Actually number 19 should be really special for some people like Joe:)
