Two Silos Farm

Things have been going very slow. Hubby has not been home much, working 6-7 days a week. I’ve been trying not to have projects for him on the few days he is home.

I finally decided I really don’t like the off white trim in the den. I don’t know, guess I had a brain fart or something when I decided to paint it that color. Originally this room had paneling painted offwhite, with dark brown trim. I loved the look, and wanted to keep it. Then Hubby decided he didn’t want paneling, so I went with wallpaper that gives the look of paneling. Then I forgot I wanted dark brown trim, and painted it off white, and didn’t like it.

It’s a pain, now that the trim is up, but I’m repainting it. Hubby was teasing me about it having more of an old farmhouse (multi layers of paint) look now. In places, you can just see the white paint underneath (just barely) and it looks kind of neat. So I think I’ll keep it that way.

There is furniture in the way too, so it is taking a bit. I have to be extra careful not to get paint on the carpet. The new trowel I bought sure has come in handy. Bought it for taping sheetrock, but it works great as a paint guard too.

Here is a picture showing some of the trim painted the new brown, and some the old white. I like it a lot better already. This color also goes well in the dining area, so we’ll use it there too. The white looked funny, so we didn’t know how to handle the transition between the two rooms (the 6’ wide opening) now we don’t have to worry about that looking stupid.

We’ve been having some real nice weather so far. It was so cold for a while there, I’ve been surprised to have this warm weather here in November. I’m hoping to get some more outdoor work done. Have the garden to deal with, but the apples and squash have been picked and brought in. I have four bags of apples and several bags of squash. At least the squash will keep, but I’ll have to deal with the apples before long.
