Reclaimed cherry wooden post from Artefacts Salvage & Design in St. Jacobs. It was the header over the door in an 1850s house in Sarnia. Now it holds up our ceiling, since we took out the supporting wall in our conversion to an open concept kitchen/dining/living room design. There'll be another to match it, framing the opening from one side to the other.
Paint in the bedrooms. The base colour is my tried and true favourite, Behr's "Dry Fern" (which I've used in the apartment on Dufferin, the house on Trinnell, and now here) - a beigey/greenish-yellow that changes quite a bit depending on the light source - it's light and neutral but it's got some kick. The accent wall in our bedroom is California Poppy red. No accent wall for the baby's room, at least not yet. We'll have to see if I channel a colour upon meeting him... The trim is a warmer white than the ceiling paint, and the ceiling paint colour is continued down in the top trim band area - a Not-So-Big-House trick to make the ceilings appear higher than they are.
Installation of the solatube in the shower. Cannot wait to shower under the beaming sunshine...
And I've been testing out paint chips on the front door; I think I've decided on a shade of blue. The beauty of Photoshop means I can sample my tiny paint chip and see what it looks covering the door in its entirety!
