Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Indoor house painting and pictures!!

Well, Will and I have been working on the house for about a month now. Its going REALLY slow. The house is very old, built in 1922 and there is not a straight line, level or smooth wall in the entire house. We can't use the tape for edging because the plaster is so uneven so everything has to be cut in by hand. I did put captions with the pictures, I think you have to click on the picture to see them, not sure. Not so good at this computer stuff!! The pictures really don't do the red in the front room justice at all. Its a really nice red.

Question for those who care to comment, what do you think of the old tan curtains in the front room? I think it would look better with white curtains but Will thinks the tan curtains ties into the furniture. Do you like the tan curtains or would it look better with white?

The carpet we ordered is a light tan/beige with little flecks of red, purple, gold, and pink in it. Sounds odd but its really pretty. We hope to get the trim in the dinning room painted this weekend. Painting the trim is the worse. We already have the primer up but it will need two coats of white to cover still. Than we will move the bedroom into the dinning room and get the bedroom done. Than we can have the carpet put in and will take a break for a week or two.

Than, we will have the front bedroom, hall and bath to redo. We also have to refinish the buffet in the dinning room. The list is long!!!!! What was I thinking?? LOL

Here's the link to the photobucket page, will keep you posted as we add more pictures and make some more progress!
