Progress



Well after priming last week, I lazed around all week and basked in the "almost doneness" of the basement until about 6:15 this morning. At that time I decided I'd start putting the color up on the hallway. We went with the classic, and neutral, taupe. Much like the beige that so many of us cube denizens have become desensitized to, but just edgy enough to be something different and therefore nothing like beige. Besides it's a color we have elsewhere in the house and ties the other colors together nicely and it isn't white. In addition to the painting, I also put up the wall sconces in the hallway, which match those in the "man room", which is also almost done, just starting in on the built-ins thanks to my friend over at OldStoneHouse sending me something to cut wood with. We wanted to go with movie house/deco style for the sconces and found these lights at a showroom in Seattle. This outfit definitely had items that you would not normally find at your big box and their prices were great. So here are some pics of the setup including the 100 inch screen. Very nice to watch movies on!
