@Joeblow,

I have somehow missed this thread. I have read it from from to back. Tai Chi - it is amazing all the work you have done! Love seeing the pictures! It just looks like fun - though I know it is hard work! You are doing a great job! What a beautiful place.

@Tai Chi,

Your youngest is talented!

Um, er, sorry. Laughing

If I'd spent more than .000025 seconds looking I would have noticed that djjd's brush had WHITE paint on it! I was in the midst of a mad dash to get a bunch of stuff finished when I checked in here.

From the pictures at least I really do like that green though. E.G. and I call it 1920's green -- we used to rent a 1920's bungalow with ceramic tiles about that color for example (maybe a bit more turquoise-ish).

fantastic!

Thanks for bringing pics along with your update, Tai Chi. It's wonderful to put faces to you and dj.

The ceiling is just unbelievable, so beautiful and with the white paint the motives
comes out even more. The entire house has come a long way, you did good
Tai Chi, and how nice of your little brother to help out! Wink

@Tai Chi,

The floor, and dog, look fabulous.

Now, as to the green discussion Laughing

, in the photo of the floor, there is a green above the door (at the back of the photo) that I quite like. Sorta soft minty. There's another green, in the main room, more hospital-ey, that I'm not so taken with. I suspect that the combination of lighting and varying monitors give us all different ideas of what the real-life green is.

@Tai Chi,

and the little Tai Chi monster herself. Too cute!

I can finally say that ... I'm guessing I'm an inch or a bit taller than Tai Chi. Hooray!

@Tai Chi,

I re-read this. I've moved from tasteful salivating to full-scale drooling.

Now you need to get the doggie to go along with the floor.

Gorgeous place! Not as gorgeous as the people!

@jespah,

Yes, should have made that clear -- don't yet actually have the dog. Just that when I saw the colours of the floor I thought "merle" of some sort -- either that or a harlequin Great Dane.

(Thanks for all the positive comments everyone.)
