The Interior Wall Transformations Begin!

This is very representative of the week!

I won't even call it "controlled" chaos. It just is what it is, and
it seems to be everywhere!!

As is this!

Dear Inventor of the Foam Brush:
I love you.
Signed, Me.

The next step I took in the build focused on getting more details painted. The conservatory doors, front windows, trim and main house roof trim all needed the treatment:

Don't get me wrong: I really, really love clean, white trim. But. By the time I finished these pieces, I craved some color! So, I really started thinking and mulling over options. I really focused on the conservatory because the front windows are really close to the door, and I didn't want to have to figure out how to paint between them neatly.

At 3 a.m. one morning (You cannot control when inspiration strikes. Clearly.), the perfect color hit me! One of our trees is particularly spectacular this Fall, and that is the very color I wanted to bring inside the house!

So, I got to taping ...

... and, Aaron and I went to Michaels to see if the color I wanted already exists. We found "School Bus Yellow" which turned out to be close, but it has a bit too much orange in it. I let the first two coats dry before using it again as a base in which to add "Lemonade," and, BAM! It is PERFECT!

I just absolutely love it! Here's what it looks like from the outside:

It creates a perfect, warm, homey atmosphere. It's exactly what I wanted!

While this endeavor was ultimately a home run, other color ventures weren't as cooperative! Take a peek at the next entry to watch the painting saga unfold ...
