Bristle Grass

Here's another bit of progress. . . Last week we (OK, Damian) spent hours stripping the old paint off the paneled wall in the living room. We also painted the wainscot on the other three walls and all the trim this color:

It's called "Bristle Grass." I don't know why, but I am very amused by absurd paint color names. We can think of other less polite things this color reminds us of, but grass is not one of them. We picked this color out months ago and completely forgot what it looked like. When we brought the can up from the basement to start painting, it was a bit of a surprise! Anyway, it really looks great (it's actually quite different from the sample above once it's actually on the walls), especially with the wood paneling.

On another note, the kitchen and guest room floors did get done while we were away for a few days, and they look fantastic. Now the guest room is all put back together and looking beautiful just in time for my parents to arrive tomorrow. Yippee!
