It's amazing the difference carpeting makes to a room. The echo is gone and the room is cozy (well, as cozy as you can get without furniture). In case you're wondering what color we painted with (or even if you're not), we'll just call it our classic beige-a-vu. Okay, so we're pretty tame when it comes to painting the rooms of our home. There are worse things. Like black wallpaper and pink roses, that's what. (Don't ask unless you really want to know).
Actually, we painted with Sherwin Williams Beach House (darker shade on the brick wall) and Kestrel White (lighter shade and gloss trim). The paint brochure said it was an airy look. To me, it just looks like beige-a-vu.
Now -- the last push to paint three inside doors (both sides), a set of french doors (inside only) and window trim on two windows begins.
Can we do it?
I think I can....I think I can....
A new view of where the rains came down and the floods came up.
I used a latex gloss on these bookshelves. Now I read that I may need to wax them (with car wax, of all things) to keep paint from sticking to books. (sigh) Oh well. I think I can....I think I can.... 
This little alcove is the space where I'm going to try to fit all our homeschool stuff (at least the stuff that remains in the family room.) I think I can....I think I can.... 
The boys are envisioning a pool table of sorts in this spot. I did too at one time, but I'm beginning to think.....I can't....Ah well...we can finally see the light at the end of this tunnel and it's getting brighter every day.
