Living Room Progress

We had planned to go to Helena tonight for a Bar Mitzvah tomorrow, but with over a foot of snow on the ground, and a mountain pass between hither and thither, we decided against it. Here is how our neighbor dealt with the snow on his roof!



Meanwhile, I was not about to just laze away the day, no ma'am! Today we worked on the living room. First, Ryan pulled up the trim around the floor. It's old, generic, rental-living trim that had been painted over more times than I have been.

I couldn't believe the nails they used to attach it to the wall! Did they think it had to hold up the wall itself?!





It was cool to see what the original color of our floors were. We also noticed that at one time, these walls were quite pink...

 

After that, we took everything off the walls and then scrubbed and painted the ceiling and trim. The place already looks better! I took some pictures, but it was after dark and the flash burned out all the color. They really don't show anything. While we were painting, our new shag rug arrived via UPS! Excellent timing! Tomorrow we paint the walls and then head to Home Depot to shop for new trim.
