Painting's done!

No, really. We finished painting and I have the pictures to prove it.

Actually, we finished painting last Monday, but I haven't got around to making a post because, well, we've been busy with other things. Like, oh, for instance, buying this:



Pretty sweet little sled, I gotta say.

Anyway, you don't come here to look at pictures of cars (and if you do, your Google skills need some serious work), so let's get to the basement portion of our program, shall we?


So, first up, the folks at Cloverdale paint worked their magic and color-matched the upstairs wall quite nicely (which is good because I really didn't want to have to paint the whole damn living room):



We painted the office a lovely color called "Dorset Cream" by Farrow & Ball:



And no, we didn't pay for Farrow & Ball paint. We're not made of money. But it's such a beautiful color, and the paint at Cloverdale is really nice stuff, so we're pretty happy with the end result.



For the bathroom, we picked a color called "Silver Sage" by Restoration Hardware. It's not easy to see in the photos, but it's a really nice shade of grey, with green, blue, and brown tones:



And, of course, we painted the laundry room, too, but that's just white and boring. Kinda like all the pictures I took of the office and bathroom after we primed them. A complete waste of time. No, really. Have you ever tried taking a picture of an entirely white room? It's almost as frustrating as painting on a second coat of white paint.

So, next up, flooring! The cork planks for the bathroom are currently sitting in the office, "acclimating" to the room... Oooooh, sexy!

Oh, and the electricians should be coming by at some point this week (I hope) to finish up the last bits of their part. Which means we should have actual LIGHT with which to work! Joy!
