For the 1st time...

in 30+ years, the bedroom walls at the beach house are white!  It is just primer and there is more painting to be done, but the hard work (for me at least!) is over I think.  Next is Michael's turn to trim everything out, and best of all, get it ready for carpet.  We had intended to just buy the trim down at the local lumberyard and at least get the baseboards in so that we'd be set to have the room measured once we pick a carpet.  But turns out the local store closed at 2:00 and Michael went down around 4:00ish.  We tried to support local business, but you've got to be open - Home Depot here we come!

Here are are newly primed walls.  It is amazing how much brighter the rooms are, feel a lot bigger too.  The small bedroom looks way bigger b/c we finally got all of the scrap lumber out.  Not a small project, and most is just piled in the storeroom downstairs, but nice to get the space back in the bedroom.
