The sweet smell of fresh paint

The downstairs bedroom is painted! Genny primed the entire room and then painted the ceiling with Martha Stewart Teacup. Bob finished up by painting the walls Martha Stewart Iced Latte. Those two colors are being used throughout the cabin to keep the color palette clean and simple. Genny also painted some doors, three of them. With the bedroom painted, other work can commence. We replaced the chandelier with a nice ceiling light so maybe now it won’t be mistaken for a dinning room. Also replaced a couple of the old electrical outlets.

Bob finished up the fireplace tile surround. All that was left after last weekend was the small bits on the sides. Of course every piece needed to be cut (and cut multiple times) to get the right fit. But the results made it worthwhile. It really is the centerpiece of the room now.
