Today, the 15th of December was the planned end date for our project.
We are still painting and cleaning and shuffling things around.The upstairs area has been beautifully and effectively wallpapered by Gypsy and Liz, "Deck the Wall" professionals who gave us a great deal.
The hallway on the top floor between the two bedrooms just became a marvelous castle with white swirly walls above the bleached "Alaska Oak" paneling, and between a matched set of new doors stained to look like light oak, the white bead board closets line the wall opposite the raised texture of the wallpaper.
The new blonde colored Berber style carpet Jeanette picked out is wall-to-wall throughout the top floor of the house which polishes and elevates the feeling to one of intimate security where you and your kids are safe.
The seams that came loose were reglued with seam paste. All the smallest detailing after the carpet was laid, accomplished.
The corner cabinet that Sara Storm painted white and envisioned toile wallpaper decorating it is complete - it is near idyllic as French Country Hobbit has a right to be. It is very feminine, and needs some masculine objects, a bit heavier in feeling and what it evokes.Staging is next.
Julie and Jay have completed installing all the tiles in white - like dentals - and the protective coat on the grout to seal it will be the finishing touch.
The most changed room is the Kitchen without a doubt, with the much lighter shades of yellow on the walls and white trim, and the piece de resistance is the wide old steel 1930's sink that Jay sprayed with commercial grade white enamel, without mistake. Factory white without fail! Jay! Our hero! Of course artist that he is, he wanted to do it again!
The office has made great strides forward and every one loves the curtains, bought on sale at JC Pennies, made in a formal new style of gold metallic lace, in a vertical wave pattern.
The best news is that Rossy was able to complete work on sewing all the curtains before she left for Mexico for Christmas with her daughter, Ariella. Amazing amount of sewing.
Since now is the time to begin to stage the house, sleep is required for accuracy in hanging goodies. Still need two more pieces of curtain decoration and a twin bed, as well as a frame for it.
