Before and After!
Ok, a little hard to see in the before and after photos, but I wanted to show the new ceiling in the addition. I've never really taken good before shots of the addition because it was a new room and essentially was just never finished before we bought the house. I think it's going to make a really awesome living room space. We followed the shape of the ceiling and made a 3/4 dish ceiling. If time allows this year we will box in the ugly manufactured beam that you can just see at the top of the after photo.

In the before photo, you can make out the beautiful vintage wicker console table which will make an appearance back in the living room, right over top of the monitor heater you see in the last photo. The table is a really rare piece of Bar Harbor wicker and matches all the other vintage wicker we picked up last week. The two tall back rockers will most likely go on the front porch.

BEFORE:

I guess this is more properly termed "DURING:"


The wires are for the ceiling lights. The whole room will be trimmed out and have the cork floor laid in the next three weeks.

It's a pretty spacious room. 22 feet long and 14 feet wide with five glass panel doors opening on two sides. I might paint this room a really, really light shade of yellow with a shade lighter ceiling and trim. There are two colors I want to try for the walls, both are Sherwin-Williams: one called "Daybreak," which might have just a touch too much green in it, and one called "Lily," which is a pure light yellow.
