Scott had texted me the paint samples he was looking at and I thought they looked good. However, the paint samples were nothing like what they showed on my phone in reality. We weren't too sure on the bottom paint color.
As you can tell, we like green.
Well, as you can see we decided to go with a gray-green that was actually what we were going for in the first place.
Once the paint dried, the green was a lot mellower.
Still enjoying my morning matcha.
The kids requested big pancake for breakfast of course. If it's not waffles, it's big pancake.
I was finally ready to put up the beadboard after sealing them with a primer earlier this week.
I added some more furring strips so they were all perpendicular to the paneling.
This was already looking better.
Meanwhile, the kids and I went over to Hunt and Gather.
Must be nice to have a full-time home fixer upper.
Theo got a bouncy ball from the chicken vending machine.
He also convinced me to buy this little Fiestaware bowl. "It can be for my snacks."
Meadow tried on all the aprons.
Ha.
This cool map showed the old settler trails like the Oregon Trail.
We then checked out Loft Antiques across the street. Theo saw this ring and said, "This is the ring I'm going to buy my wife someday."
How sweet.
I actually started my seedlings early enough this year. I was excited to see a few had already sprouted.
We enlisted Meadow and Theo to make chocolate chip cookies. We also convinced her to throw in pretzels and Oreo's.
We only had a half package of chocolate chips, so we had to get creative.
Theo was having a lot of fun with his new bouncy ball.
I was having trouble sliding in the tongue and groove until I started sanding the opening. This probably wouldn't have been a problem, but the packaging claimed I needed to let the panels acclimate to the room AND seal them. I thought that should include the tongue and groove, but maybe I could've skipped the edges.
The kids and I watched Nausicaa of the Valley.
So much better than the tin ceiling.
Finally the trim could go back up.
The next day Meadow and I checked out B-Squad Vintage. She found this Korean shirt and we wanted to see what it said.
I guess we'll never know.
"Sorry to bother you"
"Come on!"
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
"Stay warm!"
The ceiling looks like it was always there.
My covers didn't quite match, so I had to go back to Menards for a late night run.
The final touch was putting some new and renewed hardware on the laundry chute door. A couple days later I decided to sand off the edges of the door, which would prevent rubbing.
While the room is more or less done for now, we still need to replace the sink and medicine cabinet. Those jobs will have to wait for Mr. Mike to visit sometime this summer.
