COLOR!! and More

This IS the paint color! Yikes! I wanted to throw up when I first saw it. I didn't like it. It's called Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. Supposed to be the "perfect greige". It just looked all brown.... 

But, I went back the next day, and I liked it better. It's starting to look more gray to me. This is the main color in the house.

The pictures show Maggie's room, the mud entry area, the hallway, and Jason's desk area, all the same color. 

The dining room, craft room, kids bathrooms, Kylee's room, and laundry room  have a different color. The painting should ALL be done this week, and then next week they can start outside. 

Below is the laundry room; the cabinets are painted a lite gray, and will have a glaze put on them! 

The girls bathroom got a glaze on their cabinets. I was nervous about this, but I like it, more and more! 

And yesterday, they installed the laminate in the craft room and the laundry room.  The pictures are bad, but the lighting is so bad in places in the house its hard to get good pictures. 

Septic

The septic guys came late Monday, and finished the whole job Tuesday mid-morning. So, I've decided septic tanks are no big deal, if you know what you are doing. 

They dug some big holes, and put two tanks down and laid this huge pipe out from the house. The kids, immediately, get in the BIG hole!!

Yay, for one more thing being checked off the list! 

Painted Trim and More

The painters are "nearly" completely done with ceilings, the door casings, crown molding, the cabinets are painted, and all the closets in the house. 

With that being said, there is still some brush work that is going to have to be done around some of the door casing because of the routed edge on the molding.

It's taking a long time. But I guess I need to lighten up. They have to cover and tape everything before they start the next, and they are doing a really good job, so I guess that's good. 

But, hopefully this week, we will start seeing some colors on the WALLS!!

My Craft Room! 

And, the outside is looking cleaned up. Supposed to be getting the septic system put in tomorrow!

Slow Progress

I should be used to slow progress by now, but I'm not! At least it's progress, but still. Looks like we might be in the middle of February..... 

The doors were the first thing they starting staining. Those are completely done with the 3 coats of finish on them. 

Then they started staining cabinets, and now those are all done with the 3 coats of finish on them.

Now, they are spraying the ceilings, crown molding, baseboards, closet shelves, and painted cabinets with the white trim color. I'm guessing that will take a few days though, and then they will paint walls, maybe next week.....

And a better picture of the island....my favorite thing in the whole house!
