Busy Couple of Days

I'm not sure if anyone else gets as excited about wood casings and mouldings like I do....but peeps...can't tell you how amazing they are looking! While contractor/friend Paul was installing them....Mr. Seventies was painting my vanity/dressing room!!

The hall mouldings and casings are installed....and one piece left to finish the kitchen.  (nails holes to be filled & painted)...

Have you ever seen anything so pretty?  They just elevate the whole look of the house....it's not feeling so "seventies" now...this is the kitchen area...

Not showing off Liesel's water bowl...this is a good photo of the moulding detail...

We need to pick up more door casings...fingers crossed the mill has been able to get the wood required...as with most places...materials are in short supply here.  The shop where we purchase what we need mills their own...but needs the wood to be able to do so.  They have an enormous supply of the base mouldings....but the casings are in short supply.  We are going to check tomorrow....

And....three more rooms have been added to the painting schedule...the master bedroom, the gues bedroom and the back entry.  I know I have never purchased so much paint!!  But Mr. Seventies is on a roll...who am I to interfere, right?  I have the paint for the master bedroom...hope to pick up paint for the back entry and guest bedroom today.  The Beautitone paint at Home Hardware (which is the best paint in our opinion) is on sale....so good time to knock off about $25 for a couple of gallons!

And...the leather chair was delivered...I am in love.  If you can be in love with a chair that is....it is gorgeous, soft leather....*swoon*

And...can't wait to get rid of the "boob" light fixtures in the bedrooms...not that we use them much...but I have these ones on order.  One for each room...this pic shows yellow Edison bulbs...I use the clear Edison bulbs.  These fixtures look small but they are not really...and are perfect for bedrooms....

Today I think the plan is to have the front entry & family room base mouldings installed.  Not only is our house having work done....Paul is installing a new bathroom in his own home (about three houses up the street from ours)....nothing like spring weather to get everyone motivated!

No word on my other chair being shipped yet...fingers crossed I'll get an update on that soon.  

The weather is going to be wet & windy for the weekend...mostly rain....with a bit of snow mixed in.   It's been nice while it lasted...and it's been great the guys can set up the necessary saws and power tools outside...but it still makes a mess indoors. But it is worth it in the end!

Have a great weekend where ever you are!
