Apologies for the long delay

So I have to sincerely apologize for being away since...September?  Can that be right?  I am thoroughly convinced that no one has been reading this in real time, but if so, thanks for coming back to stay updated on the process of making this house ours.  I could attribute the long hiatus to the chaos of the holidays and sheer procrastination, but the truth is something else entirely which I may or may not share someday.  For now, prepare yourself for a massive upload of information spaced out over several posts of the numerous projects that have gotten us through a long, cold winter.

First, the painting projects.  As of this weekend we have painted almost every wall in this home, sticking to a palette of blues and grays.  The rooms we have tackled since September are:

The office

The guest bathroom

The upstairs hallway

The extra bedroom

Phew!!  It was certainly a lot of work, and we still need to add a second coat of paint to a couple of walls (stairway, I'm looking at you, I didn't even want to photograph you yet, let's get it together).  Overall it feels awesome to shake off the varied palette of neon green, builder's beige, eggplant purple, and chocolate brown to create a more cohesive feel.  It also makes the place feel more like our own, even in rooms that we don't use quite yet (guest bathroom and extra bedroom, that's you).  I'll post with more details as we develop these rooms, but for now, I'm just glad that it's done!
