If you saw the last blog, "Moving Fun!", you know my sarcasm knows no bounds. We have almost completed the remodeling of the new house. The house has been TOTALLY repainted on the inside. This includes the beams of the Great Room, the cabinets inside and out, and all the ceilings. And, that came at a HIGH cost. But it is worth it.
Ouida, our friend and professional decorator, picked out some wonderful colors. The trim is dark, and contrasts nicely with the ceilings and walls. At first, both the painters and we were a little skeptical. But it worked out beautifully.
Here's the major changes:
Moved to ceiling fans and added a chandelier in Great Room.
Painted every room and ceiling except garage.
Hung a barn door in Master Bed Room.
Added partition in basement to make BR #4. Surprisingly, this was one of the biggest improvements, in that it turned a cavernous room into a very cozy space and nice well-lit bedroom with a nice closet. Thanks Steve.
Finished off the laundry room, adding two doors, a partition, removing partial paneling and adding sheetrock.
Removed Chair rail in Great Room and hallway.
Moved work bench from Laundry to Garage.
Added several electrical outlets.
Turned Dining Room into Library/office.
We are now prepping to have new carpet installed on the stairs. This will be the ONLY carpet left in the house.
This, in toto, is a BIG project, so will post more later.
