Painting Hurdle Accomplished

It's mid-February and while most families are busy sledding, making chili and sitting in front of the fire, we are hard at work.  Next year we will be that family sledding!  This month, however, we are the family that is listening to Justin Bieber while painting every weekend.  The 2nd floor is mostly completed, with the exception of the huge, tall, enormous front hall that Colin has graciously offered to help with.  Even though everyone has skeptically questioned my choice of Matte (mid-tone warm brown, see previous post) for the hallway, I think it is going to offer a rich, inviting entry to our second floor, the informal space. 

Here's a smattering of messy photos of our glorious, light filled 2nd floor. Next month...floors!


Master Bedroom.  Who wouldn't wake up happy in here. 
It's not as "baby blue" as this appears. Sky Blue is more accurate.
Kind of a Victorian color choice, but with artwork and earth tone textiles, the color will become more subdued.

Master Bedroom.  You'd think those closets would be big right...? wrong.

Sophia's Bedroom, she's fairly pleased with her choice.  Very purpley.
Yes, she is wearing a Santa hat.  She's still stuck in Christmas Land.

Sophia's Play Room.  Considerably less purpley, she showed restraint here.
Art Room. Trent added wainscoting to the lower walls that were crumbling plaster.  The room has been transformed!
Next up here- the tub sink installation, shelves and counter space.
Family Room into Library.  This is a repeat, I just like to look at it.
