My brother-in-law says....

My brother-in-law, Tom, says I am falling behind in my posts!  More, newer pictures are needed, so....  Just a little update before we go any further - we are finally making decisions about finishes and it looks like the inside of the new place isn't going to look that different from the last place. The stair and loft railing will probably be some variation on the old, we are liking the greens and yellows for paint (with a splash or orange in honor of the orange carpet!), etc., etc., etc........  At least the form will be different.

So on with the pictures......

The new ceiling in the loft!  No more popcorn!!!  The "tapers" are really making the
place look better!

The kitchen!  Bill says it looks a lot smaller than he thought!  Oops!
Might be ready for another addition before we hoped!  JUST KIDDING!

Notice that odd pattern on the wall in the upper part of the picture?
That's what you get when you "skim coat" old knock down
texture.  It is supposed to work!  We'll see!

Another skim coated wall - I can't wait to see out those windows again!

The master bedroom and bath taped and almost ready for texture.

The newly covered wall and ceiling over the loft and living room - the wall
used to be covered in rough hewn cedar!  It was so dark.  We are thinking a
pale sage green might do the trick.

The guest room door out to the....

new party deck.  Okay, so it probably won't be a party deck, but it should
provide a nice covered area to relax and enjoy the view.  Those are rhodies
to the left & bamboo to the right......  Thinking we may just clear coat the cedar.
