None of the Above

Don searched everywhere for the old window trim that he had stored when he installed the new windows five years ago, but could not find the trim for the upstairs front windows. So he bought new material and built new trim and sills. Of course he spotted the old trim right after he had finished building the new - leaning against his work bench!

Way back in 2011, at the beginning of the project, we put new windows in the study and tried to figure out what color we wanted the paint that room. We sampled several greens and yellow-golds on the wall, but didn't really like any of them (see entry 5/5/2011). Now, five years later, we have decided to go in a different direction and chose a gentle, warm-gray called "gray owl." What made us decide on gray is the fact that we love the gray in the bathroom and wanted to continue the theme throughout the upstairs.

Our plan is to paint all the rooms in the house and we have come up with a color scheme that flows from room to room. The salesman at the Benjamen Moore paint store is getting to be a close acquaintance!

Sami put in an 8 hour day painting the study. Its about half done.
