I had thought about painting the trim on the shed and garage. Well today I got up early and began, while David was mowing the lawns.
When you first begin putting the paint on it looks pink, Burgundy. As it dries it becomes this beautiful red. It is semi gloss and it is so pretty.
I did complete the job by noon. All I could reach without getting on the garage roof.That will wait until the weather cools down some. It looks amazing.
Now that old work garage has a rustic look to it. That is exactly what it needed. Now I Have to decide what to do with the exterior door. Maybe a nice white or tan. I also have tan on the garage. The garage is same color as the house, ivory, and a tan trim, I left some of the tan to show kin to the home. In addition the gutters are dark brown, so it blends very nicely.
Yesterday Ron brought us a vanity and commode for the old garage. He was redoing his bathroom and had these he took out. (Ron put a Jacuzzi in his new bathroom)
Again I can barely wait until he begins the makeover. He is so handy with tools. He is ripping out the old commode, and a section of the cement floor. He has to put a new vent pipe in.
The old one is in the middle of the room,. Why? I have no idea.
Then he Sheetrock's it and finishes it off. I will then stain the cement floors. He would tile it if we decide to do that but I think staining would be more interesting. We also have to put a new door on the bathroom. The door will be very white.
I am finishing the bathroom in red, as in accent colors like 50s red and white.
I am looking for photos of old cars to post in there. paint the frames red and it will tie in.
If we do tile it I think linoleum tile in black and white. That will be a nice addition.
It is going to be a very nice restroom for a work shop. More of a selling point for the house. I may check to see what is good to cover the walls with, (as in not Sheetrock), but a fiberboard that will take paint. I want it bright in there.
We spent the entire morning outside working and came in at 11:57 to eat breakfast and lunch together. We then took a nap and got up in time to go to Dave and Gwenas for dinner. Very nice dinner, then we played scrabble. Gwena is quite good at this game. I have to brush up.
Now I have to make a list of items to take to Kens tomorrow. Like peas, corn, melons, tomatoes, squash, beans. toys. Lord do not let me forget the toys. I am planning a yard sale next weekend. I may advertise I have lots to sell. As mentioned before too many extras on items. I am even selling my quart jars. I really do not need quarts.
So that is my schemes for the day and days to come.
Good night
