Finally, I found a color to paint the chair rails that I've been waiting to put up to finish off my dining area. I've been in the process of painting these rails for the past week, it's tough to squeeze in the time with my crazy schedule but I want as much fixing and painting that I can possibly get done finished up before Christmas.
I'd never realized in the past how much work is required to do a project such as this but it's done now and I'm pleased with the results. It's been a long, full day and I won't bore you with my antics of the day so I'm just going to call it a night, an hour after I came up to go to bed.... sheesh not again. See ya all tomorrow. Oh right Grey Cup here in our city tomorrow but I'm not going, my granddaughters mommy and daddy are and I get to spend time with my precious little princess.
Looks very majestic!
ReplyDeleteYou put on your best Victorian dress for dinner and the valet helps with chair. Right?
It does look very nice! I sympathize with you, we have been doing tons of work around our 60 year old home the last few years. Projects that I thought would take a few weeks stretch out to months! We were scrambling to try to get the outside painting done before winter hit but it didn't look like we'd make it. Then we got a week of beautiful weather a few weeks back and managed to just squeak by!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest of your work!
Irina, that would be hilarious! Mind you something fun when my granddaughter gets older. :-) Get one of my friends to come over and be our butler, oh what fun I'm going to have with my baby girl, thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteAndy, the work never ends I'm certain but one small project completed sure feels awesome. I'm sure you can relate with all that you're doing. I hope you don't have the old plaster walls, those are tough to work with I found. I don't have them here, this house is 29 years old so not old enough for plaster walls, but old enough to need some TLC.
I like the look of what you've done. You have a pleasant sense of fashion and on what makes a home look "homey".
ReplyDeleteThank you LL, it's sure a change from that horrific pink, a color I hope to never see again!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours and the painting, very nice indeed.

Looks like you have been busy,and it has paid off. Wonderful look. Have a great holiday season.
ReplyDeleteSi, thank you. The painting is still happening but it sure feels good to even get a bit done, the rest is patiently waiting for me, nobody is offering to do it... go figure! lol
ReplyDeleteChad, I sure have been busy between university, Christmas shopping and trying to get my house in order and now to start the baking one of these days. I love it all though, each is so rewarding. And a very wonderful holiday season to you and your loved ones as well.
Very nice job Darlene ! And to squeeze all that work in with everything else - wow !
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you had a great time with your granddaughter today - and gladly missed the Grey Cup game !
Have a great week.
Sorry but you are going to see pink walls again. That's if you are coming to my party on Saturday and I hope, and expect, that you are! :-) I have two pink (silly putty colour) in the main living room...remember? Hope they don't make you ill. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis room looks amazing - gorgeous. I'd love to see the rest of it.
Jewel, your pink walls are nice, not at all like these ones were. I shudder to think of what I was contending with and still have a bit to go. You only have the one wall, not an entire house, bathrooms included as well as the inside of closets, not that is way overdoing pink! And yes you bet I'll be there on Saturday, I'm totally looking forward to the party!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment, you can come over anytime for a tea and see the rest! :-) I'll have a house warming soon enough and that way I hope that everyone from the family comes over. A house warming party is an awesome idea to get us all together again I think. Maybe around April or May when the next semester is done and I can do a nice BBQ hopefully, weather permitting that is. And if I have all of the renos done that I have in mind.
