We Have Color

Most of us come home from work and relax, for the last week Steve has been coming home and painting.  I must say, things are shaping up well and it's actually looking like livable space downstairs.  Shown at left is Steve's new office, or what will be his new office.  The redish color really is pretty and we both like it a lot.  The bathoom which is next to this room has three walls in the red and one wall in what Steve tells me is tan.  It looks green to me.  I guess I"ll take his word for it. 

To the right is Steve painting the familyroom wall.  To the left of Steve is a hallway that leads to the bathroom and then goes on the other side of the steps and leads to Steve's office.  It's a nice floorplan if I do say so myself.   As I type this, I guess maybe it's not as green as I think. 

Here is the other side of the family room.  Steve ended his artwork before he gets to a 33 foot wall.  I suspect we'll have it all finished before we go to Florida on Sunday but we are going to change colors somewhere in the room to break things up.  A room this large in one color is not our thing. 

After that we will lay the wood floor in the office, hallway and bathroom.  After that we will hang the suspended ceiling and have the electrician come back to finish his work.  Then we will install a scaled down version of the bar we originally wanted but it will be nice.  I'm excited about that kind of stuff but I am not a fan of painting.  As I said earlier, I painted half a closet and my feet hurt so I sat down.  Go figure. 

We have all the ceiling pieces ordered and will begin the process once the stuff gets here.  Getting a suspended ceiling started is the worst part.  Once you get going it's not so bad.  We opted for a plastic grid system this time so we won't have to use saws and tin snips but rather a scissors.  My how technology sneaks up on us.
