Over the Rainbow



Earlier this week Steve presented me with these Benjamin Moore paint palettes and asked me to make my final choice on trim colors.  I have been contemplating this decision for awhile and have picked...you will all just have to wait and see!!  I am glad to have theses beautiful hues in my possession, however, because even though I don't have to settle on room colors anytime soon, I plan to have some fun with the design process.

Well, my wish for the front of the house to be all "Zipped" up by week's end has come true.  Early, in fact.  Yesterday afternoon when I stopped up, Steve was putting the finishing touches on the last front window.  He was even able to move to east side of the house and install one of the windows and half of the green wrap there.



Joel has been holding off on ordering another dumpster, but the debris just kept piling up so he went ahead and requested our 6th.  Look how full it is in just 3 days.  The guys are still inside taking down old Sheetrock and insulation from the ceilings, so I imagine there are a couple more dumpsters in our future!


The last interesting tidbit from this week's work on the house came when Joel started to deconstruct the pantry to see if there is anything above the ceiling in that room as we wish to raise it and also the floor so that the space will be even with the kitchen.  Behind the shelving, he found this wooden grate venting to nowhere.  We have found many aluminum and steel grates, and even some heavy metal ones sprinkled throughout the house, but this wooden piece is quite nice.
