Painting of the Livingroom

New olive gray fireplace.

Just to the right of the fireplace there is going to be the new window!

We are working on another photo display area behind the couch - not quite ready yet.

New location of big black bookshelf.  This is one of those pieces of furniture that if the house was burning down I would probably die in the fire trying to get it out with me.  I found it in a going out of business sale for $75 about 9 years ago.  It was a display case in the Sand Springs train depot years ago.

So we ordered five gallons of paint for the walls of the kitchen, dining room and living area to be painted all one color.  We had hopes of it all looking like one, big space (loftish).  Well, after painting all of those rooms we officially have 4 more gallons to spare.  So to anyone out there who is wanting some off white paint for their walls - we have PLENTY and we will share!!!  ha ha.  And to anyone who is preparing to buy paint, Sherwin Williams paint is the best paint in the world and will cover like no body's business.

Once we got the walls painted we decide that the fireplace looked a little drab the same color.  So that led to us painting the fireplace an olive gray and moving the furniture around!!!  If you watch us long enough, you will learn that nothing stays the same around here.  My living room has now been 4 different colors in almost 6 years.

The second week in Sept we are getting new windows in the house.  No not in the used category; but well needed and we could afford them now so we are doing it.  The even more exciting news on top of new window is that I get a totally new window (never been there before window) put in just to the right of the fireplace!!!  Our living room is like a cave and I can't wait for the outdoor light to shine through!!!!

Grace and Peace!
