Boy, that sure is...green.

After sanding, and sanding, and sanding, at last, it was time to paint our bathroom. We picked out a green color called "Corn Husk Green." Doesn't that evoke a nice, sunshiny, bright green?

Well, it sure ended up being green:








In between adding paint to the walls, I worked on removing it from the trim. Our whole house is full of beautiful, intricately carved trim. And 99% of it has been painted with 15 layers of white paint. I've discovered that gallons of paint stripper combined with a scraper, rotary tool, steel wool, and dental picks just bring that stuff off in a jiffy! Or not.
