The sanding in the family room is DONE!!! FINISHED! COMPLETE!
WOOHOO!!!
AND....the painting in the master bedroom is finished as well! Touch-ups commenced tonight and, if all goes well, we might actually be sleeping in our new bed before the end of January! WOW!
(I've gotten so used to sleeping on a mattress on the floor that sleeping in anything higher than 4 inches above the ground seems daring, radical even!)
Speaking of the master bedroom.....
While stripping the windows, I called out my discoveries to Jasun as each layer of history was peeled back: "Red! This trim was painted a bright red before the white high gloss latex!" Then, "Ooooh, look at this olive green. Wow, that's pretty, almost the same shade as the color we were thinking of putting in here." And finally, the Reveal: "Oh my gosh! Jas, come look at this! This is the original paint color! It's the exact same shade as the paint color that we're using!! COOL!"
That's right! Completely by accident, we are painting the master bedroom trim the exact same shade that it was painted by the original owners sometime in the '30s. How's THAT for restoration?

Does that mean that next you are going to start acting like your in the 30's? Sara in an apron? In the kitchen? Maybe the house is more time machine than restoration project....
You be the judge!
Does this mean that I have to learn how to cook? Because I don't see that happening....
