  Details, Details, Details… Finish Work, Paint and Tile, Plans and Ideas | (0)

  As we near the completion of the upstairs, all the details start to come together. So I thought I'd share some of those in a big post. We picked the faucet for the kitchen. It has a nice basic shape, but will look good with the other brushed nickel hardware and granite countertops. We picked some interesting heat registers to go over the areas of wood floor. (We could have just used white ones... but I guess I cared a little too much what it would look like.) Door hardware is brushed nickel, with knobs that are rather shallow and flat. I think ...

  A “Weak” of Texture and a “Weak”end of Paint Paint and Tile | (0)

  So I made a decision to re-texture the entire house and to replace the somewhat globby orange peel texture with a more modern "old world" texture look. It was quite the project and left me, my friends, and my handyman's arms feeling quite "weak". But the result is awesome! (Many buckets of mud and gallons of paint later) Here's the ceiling texture: Here's the new wall texture: Here's a couple shots of the results of the painted walls (it will look much more dramatic when all the trim is up).
