Laowai

I finished two projects this week – my hallway painting project and a window restoration.

Here's a photo of our hallway from just after we moved in. It's a pleasant space because it's roomy and full of light. But its walls were feeling dingy and I wanted to get rid of all the blue trim. We removed the carpet and had the wood floors refinished in 2014. And I painted the stairs in 2015.

Now it feels refreshed and clean.

I just need to put some artwork back on the walls. And the windows themselves need to be painted gray – that will have to wait.

Here's a before shot of my other project – it's a window from the upstairs bathroom. 

This project was a real challenge but I'm mostly pleased. So, one done and about 20 more windows to go (yikes).

Slow and steady progress…
