Painting a wall in the living room

In March, 2009 my entire family got together to fix up my mother's house for sale. I put together pictures of the work site. We had great weather and worked both inside and outside the house. Some people stayed just for the weekend and others were there for 3 to 5 days. We got a lot done.

The pictures are on these 4 pages:
Exterior
Living room
Kitchen
Bedrooms and bath



Then at home
we have stripped wallpaper, patched plaster, painted, ripped up carpet and refinished wood floors and steps in our hallway, both upstairs and down.  That project has just been completed, mostly. Those pictures are
here.



I love to decorate my home for the holidays, so here are some pictures of how it was decorated for the Christmas 2008 season.

And in no particular order here are some pictues of....

... my garden in 2005.


... my collection of
Heuchera and Heucherella. (including photos from 2008)


...a
guestroom we redecorated in 2004

...a bathroom we renovated.


And some instructions I wrote for painting faux panels.

This door is a flat hollow-core door, that I painted in 2001. It was installed at the top of our basement stairs. Instructions for this type of painting are on the faux panels page.
