The Internal work was competed on Friday. Karen and I have been moving back in, unpacking boxes, moving furniture, and hanging art.

I had not mentioned that we extended the use of crown molding to the hallway, living room, and dining room.

We needed to do this to keep this part of the house consistent. We also changed the wall color from the original blue to the same Revere pewter that we used in the MBR. It looks much cleaner and we are still impressed with the paint’s ability to change color, depending on the incoming light.

19 of the 26 windows have been installed and trimmed out. We have delayed the last 7 windows for the back part of the house, as we need to remove some furniture and make the windows more accessible.

I will have to disassemble my office and office desk as part of this work. We will restart this process mid June.

This week has been about little projects and big ones. All of the windows on first and second floor are in . They look amazing.

We have 5 windows left to install  in the other part of the house, but we need to get everything back in order before we get to those windows and complete that job.

It may take a week or so to get moved totally back into the main house.

We have STAIRS, and they are almost complete. Still need touch-ups and additional coats of paint and trim work.

They look GREAT, and are far more “substantial ” than the old set.

The light treads and the white woodwork really open up the space… as expected.

We also have a full railing… we are getting older, and these stairs have always been steeper than normal.

The wainscoting  has been extended into the downstairs hallway.

It will be a nice touch when we also have the walls painted the color of the upstairs hallway, Annapolis grey (which is a taupe type color).

My closet is finished, and I will be moving back into it, fully, this weekend.

Look at the before and after photo comparison.
