Somewhere in Middle America...

Off to Omaha today for the wedding of Rob (Scott's brother) and Michelle.  

Looking forward to some Fall weather (it is 98 in Tucson today)!

Out...

This happened last night. Gross carpet...gone. Disgusting linolium...gone. Thankfully, I did not participate in this activity. Good on the guys for getting this done.

Now - time for paint. Seems the votes are in - no paint on the rafters.

The Shed.

Finally. After months and months of waiting - MCB finally closed on his first house. It is all very exciting. MCB is now the proud owner of a 491 sq. ft. historic (free standing!) alley shed in Telluride. Lots of work will be done over the course of the next couple of weeks and I hope to share some of the projects here in the blog. Heading out at lunch today to help pick out paint. I can't wait to see this cute little place evolve.


In the meantime, here is the decision du jour. Rafters. First off, this photo was taken during the first visit to the shed, when the renters were still living there. So, pay no attention to the gross decor. Ugh. Instead, notice the rafters. The thought is this - paint the ceiling "ceiling white." The trim will be "atrium white." The walls will be a nice warm green, gray, khaki type of color called "ashwood." All Benjamin Moore (of course).


I think the rafters should stay wood, sort of rustic-like. MCB is thinking of white washing them.
Anyone else have a vote here?

A peek in to the weekend....
