Color Continues

This is Elizabeths reading room which is a darker green than the other rooms upstairs. The painting inside will continue through Saturday. There were four painters at the house hard at work today. They are trying to finish the inside paint in order for the tile men to start laying tile the first of next week. The weather has been nice and warm all week, perfect for painting.

Steve set up his equiptment last night on the balcony and continued working on the columns today. With so much of the work on the inside I have not posted a picture lately of the outside. The outside grounds of the house still look like a construction zone, but won't for much longer.

Columns & Gold

Steve completed the columns on the front porch this evening he is an excellent craftsman, the proportion of the columns is just right. Now on to the balcony columns, five more to go. Again, the columns will be painted "Luna" the same color as the stucco. Where do paint designers come up with the names for their colors?

The painters have one coat on the walls downstairs, they will have the second coat completed tomorrow. The color we chose for the downstairs is called Golden Gate. I like how cheery this color makes the great room. It makes me smile.

Columns

Steve made one of the front porch columns this morning and it was exactly what we had in mind. He used cedar wood around the post which will be painted to match the stucco.

The utility room counter top was installed yesterday. We decided to use a double sink that was given to us by Paul's brother rather than a single sink as we planned. The double sind took up quite a bit of the counter space. I didn't plan this very well.
