Painting has been progressing nicely for a couple of weeks now but this week we finally got some color on the walls! This was Miriam's room and will now be Cowboy John's room (and David). He gets that sort of Southwest feeling with the beige walls which will be accented with his cowboy pictures.
This is the master bedroom suite. The green is almost exactly the color we had just finished painting our room just weeks before the fire. The bathroom is the same color and we have a color-coordinated closet too! You can see the other big project that happened this past week - the trim around the closets, windows, floors and door frames.
In the upstairs bathrooms we opted to replace the blue fiberglass walls with tile. This tile work is in the girls' bathroom upstairs which is actually painted purple (I promised them a purple room!). Unfortunately, I couldn't get the flash to work to show off that color but you do have a nice picture here of Glen's tile work. He is our construction foreman's boss and tile is "his thing" so we had him on the site for a day or so while he finished up the showers.
In the basement, the gridwork has been hung for the drop ceiling. That had been completely removed and has now been re-hung. I like this perspective shot of Ben. The walls are up in the basement but they have yet to be painted - still rough.
And another dream come true for me. That nasty rust red linoleum in the old kitchen has been removed! Yay!! It will be replaced with wood-grain laminate (we hope - this is one of the last sticking points in our negotiations - the other would be the upstairs banister but that may get a post all of its own since that negotiation has taken on a life of its own!).
