We have been having a lot of fun painting this past week. I suppose it was fun, as long as you consider painting for 10 hours a day and sweating in a 90 degree house fun.

But all in all it has been going very well. We have some bold terra cotta color going on in the dining room and kitchen.  The office is a sweet olive green. I had to get my beloved green in there somewhere and what better place than the office. Hopefully by Sunday night most of the upstairs will be done. We probably won’t get the two spare rooms done but that’s ok.

Also, the wood floor was delivered two days ago. It looks cool. I like to say it is “peppered with distinction”. But by peppered I mean, “full of nail holes.” It should look amazing once it gets installed. The wood is an antique reclaimed wood from authenticpinefloors.com. They told me that the antique reclaimed wood is from pine trees that were around 100 years old and cut down to build mills, distilleries, factories etc. Those buildings are now around 100 years old themselves and are abandoned and being torn down. The wood is being reclaimed, milled, and turned into flooring. So the wood that will be on the floor in house will be already around 200 years old. Amazing!

I promise there will be pictures coming soon.
