We had two guys at the house today installing the new windows. They aren't completely in, but mostly in - which is good because it will NOT stop raining. We already have had twice the avg rainfall for May. Luckily we did have a few hours rain free - so the guys weren't soaked. I like them (the windows and not the installers) - one is smaller than the original to accomodate the counter and one is larger (over the sink) and I think they make it quite nice. We used Integrity windows by Marvin which are a recycled material that can still be painted. They are double hung like the originals - but, unfortuantely, don't look old. The other sad thing is that the old windows were cracked and broken when they were taken out.
Steve spent the whole day taking the stairs down. He got them down and the landing cut back. They are sitting on the floor and hopefully will get put back up tomorrow. (Right now he is getting a back massage from the kids so he can go back over and work some more.)
I worked on paint colors today and think I have them all. Because of the "openness" of the house I think we will have the same color in the living, dining and kitchen. Hope it is not too boring but a 40s house is hard to find inspiration for while keeping a feel of the 40s without being too "kitchy" (unless you go contemporary). Who knows, color is sooo hard.
