Dining Room Update

So I left off that we installed the light... after many hours. The next day we got the window and door trim painted and the base trim removed

That's ORANGE! lol The color we chose was called 'New Penny' we wanted a copperish, orangish color. I'm not sure if it is really what either of us had in mind, but it is what is on our mind now. And there's NO turning back, lol.  I think it'll be good when we finish it up.  We still have the base trim which is white and the crown molding which is white. I think both will compliment the wall color and help the room 'pop'.

are you ready

Are you sure you want me to put this on the walls? lol

dining first coat

I had to play, just a little. As soon as I finished Kyle said "okay now go take a picture" I asked "how did you know I would want to take a picture of it" he just looked at me :-P

love artist

So tomorrow's plan, put second coat on walls... maybe a third coat if needed. Then start on the trim and crown molding, either this weekend or next.


And then there's Harpo.

Poor, poor Harpo...

Look at him eye that water bowl.

That water bowl must have done something REALLY mean because Harpo wants nothing to do with it.

Oh the fear. But we're gradually working on it. I can now cohorse him to walk through the door by the water bowl if I am guiding him with a treat :-)

Can I tell you a secret? I really have no clue how to spell co-horse, co-orse... anyway I'm so off that even my spell check didn't recognize it. You get the point thought, right?
