the color purple

Today we painted the computer room. I'd seen this color in a photo in a magazine once and I really liked it. Actually, I initially intended for this to be the color of my bedroom until I realized I had red cement floors. It's a little darker than I initially suspected, but I like it. This color is called Jazzfest, so I decided it's also the perfect room to hang my New Orleans Jazz Fest posters in!

To the right is the top of the stairwell.

This view looks into the dining room (which now has the beginnings of walls).

This is the other side of the doorway leading to the stairwell. This is the 4' x 4' window that will lead onto the new mini balcony/deck.

This view looks on to the other rooms upstairs. Doorway to the left is the dining room with the bare sheetrock and past that is the living room. Doorway to the right is the short hallway that leads into the kitchen. Opposite the solid red wall you see here is the new pocket door into the upstairs bathroom.


I also took better photos of the area where the swamp cooler used to be that we are going to turn into a tiny balcony/deck. This space is about four feet deep and five feet wide.




Mom and I also painted the face of the steps in the stairway. Eventually the black sandpaper thingys will be removed and the top of the steps will be repainted (likely white) using nonslip paint. I hate those black things.



And, I was so excited about my big fat light from the flea market the other day that I forgot to also mention my cool orange '60s candy dish. Peppermints and butterscotch candies have been added by Mom and Dad.
