Just in case anyone is wondering, we are still working on the house, we have not left for a world cruise. However, progress is slower when you get to some of the detail work like doing electrical work for the garbage disposal and dishwasher, as well as sanding and painting. Soooo, here is some of the progress:
The wall at the top of the main staircase now has sheetrock. The good thing about that is that it looks great (no more falling plaster and ugly lath) and we don't need to worry about bats hiding in the wall.
The middle chamber (bedroom) is nearly completed with sheetrock. (No pictures, the batteries in my camera are spent).
The servant's chamber has been sanded and painted. We painted the ceiling and a portion of the walls with off-white paint, "nude" is the color. Chris then mixed the paint we used in other rooms and created her own color. When it dried it looked like a color we used in the home in Georgia, called "calm air" which is a light yellowish color, very calming.
She is now doing some detail work where the two colors meet. The color is a light green.
She is doing the detail by hand and without a pattern. It looks great.

That really looks nice - Your wife is so talented!
This is Katrina Anderson-Chris' old room mate Barbara Handshy's daughter- anyway, I just wanted to write that Chris' detail work on the walls is amazing! Everything is coming along so well! I am in awe.
Thank you Cathy and Katrina you are both very kind. I finished going all the way around the room today. It took about 10 or 11 hours to do! Lots longer than I thought. It was fun though. HOpe to get the floor cleaned, stained and verathaned this week.Glad you are enjoying the blog!
