Changes

On July 4, 1986, Richard, Lisa, and I moved into the house I now share with my Sweetie. Tho it is the same house, it couldn’t be more different.

It is still a center-hall colonial with three floors. In 1986, it was painted beige with brown trim. Since 1993, it has been Cottage Cream, Newport Blue, and Luxurious Red.

In 1986, every room was painted beige, woodwork included. Over the years the living room became Williamsburg Blue with pure white trim. The library is a pale blue as is the second-floor sunroom, the small guest room, and my office. Another guest room is lavender. Our third-floor master bedroom suite is Swiss Blue and Jet Stream, an icy blue. The dining room has a Victorian wallpaper below the chair rail and a light rose above with a darker rose on the crown moldings and other woodwork.

My latest project was to finally paint the inside of the built-in china cupboard in the dining room and add lighting. Today I finished placing the last of the items in it. Now why didn't I do this years ago?
