Our big painting job is underway. A few days ago, the crew came in and masked the entire house. That means we have tarps and plastic sheeting everywhere.


The ceilings were first. It took the crew about two days to paint all the ceilings except the 40-foot cathedral in the great room. They’re a very light beige– almost white– and when seen next to the existing green walls, that green really stands out.

Notice the green ceilings in the top foreground, versus the new ceilings in the master bedroom in the background. So much better!

The master bedroom and bathroom are pretty much finished, and it’s a dramatic improvement. I’m so thrilled that mint green is gone.

This week, the plan is to work on the great room. It’ll require a scissors truck and scaffolding and a gazillion ladders. Looking forward to it…
