New Ceilings..

They look so much better. Even though we lost about 1/2" of ceiling height, the consensus is the rooms look bigger.

As you can see, we need some new paint in the dining room - ripping off and replacing the molding doesn't do good things to walls, it seems.

A mess is coming!

Well finally, after 3 years the ugly, barely hanging on (really according to Steve!), fan is gone. We are having our dining room and living room ceilings re-plastered on Thursday. There has been a damaged spot (see below) in the dining room since we moved in and we finally got around to dealing with that too.



Of course that means we need the ceilings painted, which means we might as well do 80% of the rest of the house too while the painters are here;/ The living room walls, front hall walls, stairwell walls and upstairs walls/trim are all going to be repainted along with the 2 ceilings! Stay tuned for an exciting new living room color (hopefully we will like it!).
