Paint and floor progress

Last week also led to progress inside with painting a couple of bedrooms and beginning the kitchen floor.

We started with painting the guest bedroom. An extra cabinet was removed from this room, so the walls needed some extra prep work where that had been.

Here are a few "before" and "after" views:

 

 

 Then we moved on to the master bedroom. After testing many, many colors, we went with something very neutral and versatile for this room.

 

 Meanwhile downstairs, progress on the kitchen floor really picked up. After some self-leveling compound and an orange layer of something important (I can't remember what...) was put down, the travertine tile started getting installed. The pattern is quite complex, and the tile has a lot of color variation from piece to piece - not to mention there are four sizes of tile - so it's taking some time. You can't rush art, and these guys are artists.

  Here's the view as of Friday, but they were there Saturday working on it too.

And one evening when I was dropping off some boxes, the sunset was really pretty, so I snapped a shot of the front of the house.

One more week for tile floors in the kitchen (it needs two coats of sealing, one before grout and one after), and then cabinets go in the week of June 3!
