These are pictures of my family, top picture is my mother and her brother, Dale. The color of the paint on the wall is close to what it really is. Then Phil, my niece, Heather and in the foreground, my daughter Katie.  I have included these pictures so that you can see the walls after they were painted.   I painted the wall above the fireplace a different color than the walls for added interest.  BTW, the quilt above the fireplace is appliqued cala lilies that my other made.  The wood stove is inserter into the fireplace - and really keeps the house warm.  Phil made the green wood box to hold the firewood we burn.

April 2008 - what a job!

Phil is helping to remove the wallpaper from the stair well up high.  As you can see, it was quite a job - We rented a steamer and it helped a lot.  I am afraid of heights, so not able to stand on the board to get these high spots.
