Susannah’s Room

Filed under: home and family, painting — Ted Johns @ 7:15 pm

I think I already talked about this one time, but when Susan and I bought our house in 2005, we were going to immediately paint the interior of the house except for the baby room. The baby room was already nearly perfect. It is a sunshine yellow with two murals on the walls. They are fun. We were picking paint colors even before we got into the house. As it turned out, we actually started to like all the colors of the interior walls. The country blues appealed to us, so we kept it like it was.

Our Baby/Guest Bedroom

Filed under: business, home and garden, house ownership, painting — Ted Johns @ 9:41 am

When Susan and I moved in to our cozy little doll house (built in the 1940s, this little bungalow has just under 1000 sq ft), we had plans on repainting, but once in the house, we really liked the country muted blues in the living room and the computer room, and the canary yellow for the previous owner’s baby room. We just kept it as is. Recently, however, Susan did some touching up because just before we moved in, the back left wall of the house had to be torn down and rebuilt because of previous termite and moisture damage. The company who worked on the wall had made some cracks on the inside of the baby bedroom and the bathroom, and then patched them up without caulk or liquid drywall or something. One Saturday, Susan went into the painting business. She busted out the paints and paintbrushes and repainted those areas. It looks a whole lot better and really shaping up for when Susannah arrives next month.
