Description
I couldn't stand all that beige, so I got busy and started to paint. Bill did all the taping, and I did about 95% of the painting. That might sound like I worked harder than he did, but believe me ... there was a LOT of taping to do! He taped all the molding along the ceiling, the floors, and all the doors and windows.
We love the names they give paint colors!
Kitchen cabinets: Swan Wing
Dark green in living room & kitchen: Whispering Pine
Light green in living room & kitchen: Scotland Road
Dark teal in bedroom: Mirage Lake
Light teal in bedroom: Jamaica Bay
Dark orange in den: Maple Leaf
Light orange in den: Citrus Punch
Painting walls sure is a cheap way to transform a house!!

WOW! You certainly have been busy. It looks awesome. Though the beautiful greens would make my little house look even darker inside, so I want all the walls white here. Well now we got white furniture. That is the first step :) Here things go very slowly. I am looking forward to see your home from outside too :)

Looks to be coming along very nicely Tara. Nice to hear from you.

Hilarious names! I prefered British Standard Numbers, but they seem to have died a death. I love what you have done, but I have almost all my walls white with lots of pictures and stuff.

Very good painting with all the posters and pictures I have, you wouldn't know what colours my walls were

I know about taping and painting - it got to the point that I could cut in along the molding and edges and not make a mess thereby forgoing the taping routine

Lots of work going on here... whew! am I glad I don't live close enough to get that dreaded "friend" call. You know, the one that starts with,... "hey, watcha doing on saturday?"

I love looking at paint chips, the colours are delicious all together like that. Picking them is harder, much harder! Looks like a ton of work, I don't envy you!

Where is all that lovely clutter? :o) Painting isn't my favourite job, either.

I have been following your journey and journal, on the blog - thanks for all those entries, to read where you've been, aha !!! ... ;) ... and now to all your painting achievements over the past weeks - first of all, good choice on picking the 'right' colours ;P (I couldn't live with 'beige' either), my place is evidence of that, with that open-plan style/type of living ! and secondly - I do love painting walls, etc. - so very much myself - not only is it a very satisfying exercise and you can see the results immediately, but it also gives me a lot of time to think and even solve some problems in my own headspace ;)) [yes and I too can multi task, LOL ] anyway, KUDOS to you both ... and congratulations on the new abode. BB *** (sorry, about my recent 'Abwesenheit' or 'absenteeism' - and with commenting - I am just so busy, with my upcoming trip ... so many things are not falling into place immediately as they should, for example: you have no idea how time-consuming and ridiculous the 'RED TAPE' is, just for getting a passport !!! and that is only the start of a few little problems) maybe I am need to do some painting - to think some more LOL
