Weekend of painting just about every nook and crannie. Harry and David made it possible. Ann, aunt Dee Dee, Chelsea, Anthony and Jayden pitched in to keep up my spirits, feed the troops and paint, paint, paint. And it looks fantastic. I am thrilled to follow up on the details. This door i distressed, who knew what beautiful colors lurked beneath the white paint. I adore these plank board doors. Need to replace more doors, may it be that i should make some?

I bought 10 gallons of white eggshell paint at habitat for humanity. I added artist tube pigment to tone it down. Tricky mixing all10 gallons, required 3 five gallon buckets and a drill driven stir gizmo. I did it, and pretty much like it. Yeah, i can live here. Tomorrow i touch up all rooms and paint bathroom turquoise and upstairs textile room squash, these are the only 2 colors the rest of the house I choose shades of white and are done except for detail work. 5 more wood plank floors ( 3 done) to mend, scrape, sand , paint and varnish. I wonder if i can focus on one room at a time or if i will browse from room to room. Pictures to follow tomorrow.
