The Results Are In

These are the samples of paint/glaze on the bead-board. To get things started I've decided to paint the bathroom wall the linen color with brown stain (top right) and paint the baseboard, ceiling trim and bathroom door in the red with brown stain (bottom right.) The cabinet/island unit will be painted black with brown stain (bottom left.) Let me know what you think and I hope this pictures does a good job showing the samples. Thank you for all of your support and encouragement!

The shining!

Check out the finish on this floor! After many hours of scrubbing, staining, sealing and waxing, the floor is finally finished. My elbow and shoulder are certainly ready to move on to something different. The bathroom is almost finished, the guttering has been installed, but the to-do list is still very long. We are STILL waiting on the contractor to finish up with the door issues (TIP: Don't pay your bill in full until the job is complete.) I've been playing around with the different stains and paints trying to decide what to do with the bead-board walls. The car siding will be finished with some type of oil and it will change color with age.

I'll close this post with a Merry Christmas and it will be next year before I have time to post again! Thanks for looking, -Janice
