Sorry I haven't posted any photos - I'm working so hard, exhausted and early to bed every night (and I'm a late night person!) Trying to get all the painting done before they come to refinish the floors on Friday. Hoping it's warmer next week so I can get started painting outside - haven't even started the sign yet but have gotten some good advice on what to paint it on / how to hang it etc. Last week I had Mark the handyman helping me...he patched holes, weather stripped the backroom, removed a half wall, added more tracks and other electrical work and most importantly put white beadboard paneling on the ceiling of the front window bays. This was a huge improvement...Below are some random photos from last week, I'll share this week's photos in my next post:
covering walls of many different colors...
weatherproofing a very drafty & creepy storage closet
the build out that Mark removed for me:
it was just placed to close to the back, this will be my easel/painting area
Mark installing the paneling, look at the top left of this photo, that's what the entire window bay ceiling looked like. I was a little panicked over how I was going to cover this up, then as luck would have it I saw the beadboard paneling used on an HGTV home improvement show - perfect!
P.S. I've done all the painting myself and all white which blinds me, cannot wait to get some color going...keeping it clean though, color only on the back and front walls.
