Mom is pleased!
The hallway is looking much cleaner and brighter.
The trim color is a Martha Stewart paint called Mourning Dove and she is just loving this color!
Can you see flat George on the freshly painted steps? We still have another coat to give the risers but that will be the last step before we call it a job well done.
Mom decided no Airedales will be stenciled in the hallway. booooooooooooooooo
Hey, we tried!
The next phase is the hallway on the second floor!
Can you see the old stencil that runs over the top of that painting that's still hanging in the stairwell? Mom is afraid of heights and she needs to get over it!
Dad to the rescue!
We have staging! yahoooooo
We have staging! yahoooooo
Believe it or not, mom and dad will have to duck or bump on the way up and on the way down the stairs. It won't be any problem for Mitch and I don't do stairs anymore so no problem for me either.
It's kinda wierd looking but it works and mom is not afraid to get on top of the staging!
So the project continues............... this time on the upper deck!
Guess what?
We got snow! Dad says there's about a foot of it out there! whoooooohooooooo
Does anyone need us to send them some? Khyra?
So until next time.............
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Looks like a successful home makeover downstairs, with more to come for the upstairs!
ReplyDeleteHooray!!! You've got snow!!!
ReplyDeleteThe makeover looks really good.
I am wondering where flat George is at the moment but glad to find him at your house. He is busy travelling these days.
It looks very beautiful! Our mom has that fear of heights thingy too! Years ago, she bought a 24 foot ladder to paint our house, and she found out she can only go four feet up the ladder! What a wuss!

We like the look of the hallway, it is very peaceful and serene. And your dad is my hero...I think that the platform is a marvelous idea.
ReplyDeleteGussie and the muzzer
We'll pass on the snow, but love the redecorating project!
ReplyDeleteWe are impressed with your winter project-looks great! We used Martha's, "Griddle Gray on the outside trim of our house and we love it!
ReplyDeleteBe careful on that staging...
Send that snow to us, please, we have none.
ReplyDeleteLove that color, but no way would the Momster ever get on those planks:(
Be careful up there.

I wish you lived close to us. I desperately need my house painted. You do such a good job!!
ReplyDeleteXX, Bambi & Fern
Tsar says YES!! Send all you can spare. The weatherman has promised us that we'll get some tonight, but he's been wrong before. In fact, most of the time he's wrong.
ReplyDeleteMorgan, Tsar and the Porties
Enjoying your lovely progress! New colors make a huge difference, I agree. Oh my gosh that platform.... I too am afraid of heights so I am not sure I would like to see any gaps in the platform but I know your hubby is an expert in these matters so all is undoubtedly well!
ReplyDeleteThere is some comforting soup over at my blog, stop on over for a bowl :) Good on a snowy day!
I see that baby gate at the bottom of the stairs... we have those at our house too... don't allow the Pack downstairs at my house to the completely redone family room.... unless we are present of course ... xoxo
Your house is looking beautiful! It's amazing how fresh paint makes the place look so wonderful!! Lots of love, Holly and mom
ReplyDeleteThe lighter paint will brighten things up, won't it? I have to confess, though, that the teal was a very pretty color.
ReplyDeleteLove the morning dove color - so, so pretty! Mom would have a fear of heights too, without the "staging"! Actually, Mom might have a fear of getting up on the "staging" itself! You have a great start on the job - good luck - can't wait to see it done!

Our Mom doesn't do heights very well, so she is amazed your Mom will go on the staging! The hallway looks great!
ReplyDeleteSam
Enjoy your snow... we would like some more but the humans here are not keen. They are glad ours has gone, so maybe you could send us just a little bit..hehe

I LOVE the makeover, everything bright and clean! It feels like giving the new year a good nudge!
ReplyDeleteDeclining the snow though. Not this year kids. :P
Hiya Airedales,
ReplyDeleteCharlie and I would like to thank you very much for you kind words and well wishes during our difficult time. They really mean a lot to us.
And we don't envy your mom her painting job. That staging sure does look scary!
hi M&M! your home improvements are looking really good. it's a good thing that you are there to supervise and give it your seal of approval. bummer about the airedales though.

Looking good!

ReplyDeleteTell mom she did a pawsome job. Your pops is a smart man. I just hope mom doesn't think she's on stage and starts tap dancing!

PS- woos got 10 inches of snow!!! we got a maybe an inch. Snow pics please!
Your Mom did a great job on painting the hallway. We can't wait to see the staging.:)
ReplyDeleteLove,

Your hall is looking great - that really is a lovely colour!
ReplyDeleteWe see flat George on the stairs -we thought he was in New York with Asta but he seems to be travelling fast!
We guess being flat he can get around easier.
Good luck with the rest of the painting - once your mom has tread the boards we hope she doesn't take off for a life on the stage!
You know what these humans are like!
love

We are laughing picturing your mom & dad ducking under that platform on the way upstairs! They are going to have to crawl down them on all fours I think! Now get out there and play in that snow!!
