The Painters Are Gone (temporarily...)
But not forgotton -
They've pretty much finished up in all the rooms but Max's, and they'll be coming back to do that room when we're able to empty it out and get it ready (right now it's the recepticle for all the furniture and books from the other rooms - lucky Max, huh?)
The living room is by FAR our favorite! Today I put up blinds (Ikea) and I'll put up curtains as soon as we get some wood screws. The air conditioner is back in and we're relatively cool - funny how easily one becomes used to the cool, conditioned, de-humidified air.
There still seems to be SO much work to do - it's overwhelming - but it has to be done. Putting back together is harder than taking apart. That's the Pottery Barn theory of house painting.
The color we used for the living room was Behr's Pumpkin Butter - it's just wonderful! It matches my Yellow Ware bowls - wahoo!

That looks great - I never would have thought I would love that color but I do. I think the house is going to look so good you will stop thinking about moving. Maybe then we will get you out here on the eastern end of Long Island for a talk...
just gorgeous!
lurve the fireplace details and the built-in bookcases.
can't wait to see the rest of the finished product.

Loved the article in IK. As the owner of a brand spanking new house (no character), I am jealous of the built in bookcases and the beautiful fireplace. The room is beautiful. I don't think I'd want to move.
Annie, the article in IK was fabulous. Made me want to rush over here immediately and invite you over for a cup of tea. :) The painting is heroic; I'm impressed!
One last thought--how do you stay calm while test knitters are working on your (as yet unknitted) designs? One of the 3 sweater jackets is in the able hands of my test knitter, and my knees are knocking!
Beautful color - I'm sighing with envy. I'm so sick of living with 'apartment white' walls...
Beautiful color, Annie - I'm just sighing with envy.
Lord, I'm so sick of 'apartment white' walls...
Lovely colors, you can always put them in your MN bungalow!
Oh, I just love the fireplace and bookshelves too! I love that whole area where you live. It's right out of a fairy tale, with gorgeous houses and great landscaping, and huge-mungous parks...
