James and Kristin Whitt’s Corner

Paint my office

Progress slowed a bit last week because I ended up with the flu for most of the week.  At the present time, we are painting my office.  I put the last coat on the walls last night and all we have left is the trim and then touching up.  I don’t know what the colors are for my bedroom of hand, but I’ll post those when I get them.  The new closet that has been added is pretty much finished.  Has the same painting needs.  George is adding the shelving and the pole this week.  I think we’re going to wait to buy the closet doors (which will be mirrored like in Kristin’s office) until after the carpet has been installed.  George is doing the last touches on the other closet this week also.  He made that closet look a lot nicer by fixing the walls and ceiling, and then drywalling around the air duct that is running up from the basement.  I should be able to have that closet painted by the end of the week.

For the dining room, it’s still where it stood last time.  We went to the Lowes again last night, and they still do not have the quarter round in stock.  We’re running up to Tri-County after work today for hair cuts, so we’re planning on stopping by that one to see if they have any more in stock.  Once that’s done, all that is left in the dining room is to change out some of the older electric.

The hallway is finished for the most part.  Kristin did the last of the touch up painting last night.  We need to put a couple of coats of paint on the banister, but that will only take about 10 minutes each coat.  Most of the doors in the hallway have been taken down, and we’re in the process of sanding down parts of them that had a few too many layers of paint, and then painting them the color of the respective rooms and the hallway.
