The floor is all done and the baseboards have been put back up. Now begins the task of priming them (most are unpainted pine) and painting them white. I wanted the fresh, airy look of white to go with my light dusty green walls and the new floor.

Nothing has really been put back in its place yet. The entertainment centre and other furniture are still out from the walls and not in the arrangement that they will be in. It’s easier to leave them out while the trim is being painted instead of pulling them out and pushing them back in all the time since the painting is happening in short random bursts of time.

The next project is to paint that left-hand wall the flows into the kitchen as well as the wooden half wall seen in the very left of the photo. The half wall is to be painted the same green as the rest of the walls and the counter is to be removed from the back of it. The hall wall is to be painted an as-yet-undetermined colour just to break up all the green. I’m not sure what colour I’m going to go with. I don’t really want a darker one but I don’t want a beige/cream/white shade either. A yellow? I’ll take the paint can to the store to find out the colour name and then, after finding that paint chip, see if I can find coordinating colours.
