Week 2

After we painted the focal wall in the living room, we had paint left and so we decided to paint two walls in the dining room. I actually climbed up the big ladder and taped around the ceiling and walls so Wayne could begin painting. I used to get a little apprehensive about climbing after my fall a few years ago, but I think I have conquered my fear. The paint was a little dark so I added a quart of white to it. The colors looked good next to the original color so I was happy. Because of the morning light coming through the big window here you can't really see the color all that well, but if you look at the focal wall from the previous post, it's just a bit lighter.

The color sometimes look green and sometimes looks tan.

The original entry light was a brown chandelier. The dining room did not have any kind of light at all. Wayne climbed up into the attic, wired for a chandelier and cut a hole through the ceiling. into the dining room. I changed out the entry light to this one because I didn't want two chandeliers hanging side by side. It is charcoal and bronze with silver detail. I then repainted the original chandelier metallic charcoal so we could hang it in the dining room.

I bought a white ceiling medallion and painted it to match the colors of the entry light and attached the chandelier to it.

I didn't realize the small light bulbs I bought had a purple tinge to them but for the first time in 6 years, I can see my music when I play the piano. Some day I may replace it with a more substantial fixture, but for now I am set. Ah.... teamwork.
