The Black-Out Continues

So, we're getting trim in the living and dining room taken care of, and I am thankful. I'm so tired of trim! I also got all the hallway doors painted - finally!

This is the view of the upstairs hallway now that I've banished all the white. Squeeeee!

I kind of love the purple and the aqua with the black.

AND, last night's exciting development - the first coat of hammered silver on the fireplace:

I'll confess, I should have done this after I taped ALL the doors and windows that need this silver treatment. But frankly, it's been a rough few months, and anything I can do to add some sparkle and fun is aok. The paint-on version of this paint (I had previously only used the spray variety) is just as fumey as the spray. And all this time I thought it was the propellants making it stinky.

As we see the finish line for the main living areas, our thoughts turn to the next daunting task: the kitchen.

Brian took a peek at the cabinet doors, and after a little fiddling, discovered that they come off pretty easily.

Take THAT, cabinet door! One down, 25 to go!
