Painting the Living Room, Spring 2000 |
 First we painted the ceiling. It was amazing what a
difference it made! The room already looked better. |
 Then we touched up all the spots we had had to
patch and mend in the walls, and started to paint. Here's our friend Trish, who came over
to lend a hand. |

 Here's how it turned out. With all the rain
we've been having we had to wait almost a week before the sun came out and we could take a
picture, but I've liked the yellow in every light I've seen it in yet. |
 Here's the front corner of the house. On the
floor now you can see the lumber that's part of the next project -- the bookcases. |
 And finally, the wall where we took out that
first baseboard heater. The bumpy spots under the window are the remnants of the previous
owners' attempts at hanging drywall. Fixing that would have been a whole different project
in itself -- but all in all the room is greatly improved.Stay tuned for the next installment of "Habitat for Marty." |
[show me the
bookcases!] |
Here I am with the roller,
painting the first wall. The yellow turned out to be a great color. We get lots of sun in
that room, and now it's very cheerful and light. I'll include some pictures of the whole
room when we get the next roll of film developed.
And here's the painting
supervisor, keeping an eye on us to make sure we do everything right.
