Too much white???

Fireplace - first coat of paint

We have to get a second ladder because there are still about 9 feet to paint. 

Fireplace, continued...

With or without???

Fireplace

We are painting the mantle and bookshelf white. 

The mantle is finished, but I am contemplating how to reassemble the shelves (i.e., use a router or pins).  Also, I have been informed we will be painting the brick white. 

Kitchen table

New addition - we finally found a kitchen table that fit our criteria and budget (who knew a 54 inch pedestal table would be so difficult to find). We didn’t commit to chairs at this time, but plan to purchase some basic latter back wooden chairs next weekend.

Chandelier, Day 4 (final day)

My work here is complete.  Off to the next project...

Chandelier, Day 3

I am not sure Katie anticipated a "nuts and bolts" restoration of the chandelier.  Good thing I took pictures originally, so I can fashion the component pieces back into a single unit.
