New House... finally

Some have asked for pictures of the new house, so I have a few.
The most laborious project we did was by far the white washing of the wood walls we have. Here is a before picture.

This is after.
...After sanding down all the cedar planks, painting and a coat polyurethane. We were worried about the look after the first painting. At first it looked sloppy. Then I went over the area with a sander again and took off the white paint from knots and cracks (all which were filled in with wood filler. That took FOREVER!). After the clear top coat went on I fell in love with the look. Still looks like wood, but is bright as having a taupe shade of paint on the wall.
The place was awful dark before.
And notice the lovely wall to wall GREEN carpet throughout the space. Wall to wall... even in the BATHROOM! Who does that? Now really!
And after... That is my white washed living room wall and a wall we dry walled on the left. A lot brighter now. We replaced the carpet with these carbonized medium dark bamboo floors. NICE! Sorry it is still a mess.
This is our view from the deck. That is Ajax ... above the house next door that is.
There is a similar view from the bay window inside... this is the dogs' favorite place to hang out now. Look, they are in the same bed! They haven't done that in a long time. And that is the left over floor pile that we will use for the kitchen when we remodel. Maybe in a few YEARS we will have the money to remodel the kitchen. Great house... makes me feel good, but also a little poor.
So I am back to the house projects and promise more pics soon...
