Point of View


I think the dining room is coming along nicely, don't you?  The green around the bay windows is the color the room was painted when we bought the house.  Kathy has stripped that, and I need to look for any holes or scrapes and go over them with joint compound.  Then BIN sealer, then gray primer then the final coat of red.  I know, I know, I am over-doing it.  Hey, but that's who  am!  So why did I title this "Point of View?"  Because if I stand over by the windows and take a picture facing the other way, you see this!  It all depends on your point of view.


OK, so that looks much better, doesn't it.  It looks like maybe we are 3/4 finished with the room.  It does look much nicer than it did with fresh paint on the walls and trim.

It looks so bright and cheery. The point of view is a lesson on perspective! Trace

Your complete preparation is admired. The fresh painted area looks beautiful but I am surprised that you did not strip and prep the entire room before painting.

Wow! What a difference between shots. I love the bright color. It must feel so encouraging to look at the finished walls and know that you haven't got too much work left to do - aaahh...betsey

Photo one grabs me for how much work was needed to fill, fair and finish old plaster walls. Photo two is the testament to doing the job right! Nice job - looks great!

Thank you all, and I appreciate your putting up with my semi-perfectionism... :-)
