Day Three

The first exciting event to occur today required no work on our part, which is always good. We had professional painters come in to paint the ceiling and the stairwell.

This is the stairwell before:


And this is the stairwell now:




It's kind of hard to capture on film because we took off the nasty miniature lampshades, so there's a glare at the moment. Soon we will get a new light fixture.


I made Ben position himself in front of the light to try to block it, but the picture just turned out sort of creepy.



The other exciting event for today was completing the stripping of the wallpaper. Ben spent literally all day cooped in there picking it off inch by inch. Fun! I was there for the last couple of hours.








Finally, we added another coat to the cabinet frames in the kitchen. One more to go!


Also, here is Ben with our flooring.


It has to sit in the house for at least 72 hours prior to installation in order to acclimate to the conditions inside our house. We're not getting it installed for a couple of weeks, but we went ahead and picked it up over the weekend.

So that's it for today!

Completed, Day Three:
1. All ceilings painted.
2. Stairwell relieved of hideous orange color.
3. Wallpaper stripping completed.
4. Second coat of paint added to kitchen cabinets.
