Scary Cabin

This weekend was all about painting. Last weekend we managed to get farther than anticipated by finishing the primer coat. Saturday morning started off with an Iced Latte… paint. That’s the wall color. Starting with the kitchen wall since that’s semi-gloss, we then moved on the bulk of the living room using eggshell. To top it off we finished off the kitchen ceiling with teacup white to cover the areas that got a bit texture.

With the painting finished, we moved on to cleaning everything up. All the plastic drop cloths on the ceiling and floor were held in place with staples. That mean ripping out the plastic, then going around the room with a small screwdriver and pliers to pull out the (what seemed like hundreds) of staples.

With the living room cleaned up and freshly painted, we moved on to a few other small tasks.

The kitchen door casing was cut and installed.

We planted two trees. A small Japanese Maple and a small Sugar Maple.

Did some additional framing on the built-in bookcase. There’s still a bit more framing to do then we can start adding the back/sides/top/bottom and make it look like a bookcase.

We also took a lot of measurements for things like the window casings, fireplace mantel, fireplace brick, pantry shelves. Lots of little projects to keep us busy over the winter.
