Matt spent a whole day painting trim white around windows and doorways. The difference is amazing. I can't believe someone painted these beautiful bulls-eye moldings the same color as the walls. You could barely even notice them. It's criminal!
Someone must have loved this home at some point in time, and I feel like it's coming back to life again. Finally there seems to be some progress and it's feeling a little like "home" already.
A few things I notice from looking at this piture:
- Living room light fixture has got to go.
- I did a good job cleaning those fireplace bricks!
Bren and I spent a lot of time outside this weekend while Matt was painting. We moved the lawn, bagged up more leaves, learned the rules about "yard waste" from some nice neighbors and dug up lots of dandelions. Boo.
The stove, dishwasher and fridge were delivered this weekend as well. Though we are unsure if we will tear up the kitchen right away or wait a few months and get settled. So for now, they are sitting in the middle of the kitchen. I think I will ask Matt to at least hook up the stove and fridge so we can eat when we are up there on weekends.
We decided on a color for the living room. It's called "restful" - it's a sage like color and I really like it. (Surprising!)
