"Homework"

Work in the rectory dining room has been taking up a good deal of my free time recently. I have finished painting the walls of the dining room proper. This involved two coats of the new golden yellow color:


Then I did additional prepping so that I could paint polyurethane stripes on the walls to give them a subtle wallpaper effect:


The final result is difficult to see in pictures . . . 


and pretty subtle in person as well. I think it looks good, but I'm wondering if it was worth the additional work. Perhaps a darker paint color would have shown the stripes better, but the room is so dark I wouldn't have wanted to go that route.

Anyway, I have also finished painting an auxiliary room just off the dining room and also installed a laminate tile floor in that area. More pictures will follow of those projects - and now all that remains is the wood laminate flooring in the dining room and some painting of trim.
