hi loddy
it sure is sweet of you to cook yummy suppers for mrs L
bill only used paint on hand, which was that brick red and chocolate brown
so whole kitchen is brick red
when he ran out, he used the chocolate brown for the tiny touch-up spots he missed
luckily they blended perfectly
this morning at first I thought white trim would be pretty
now I dont know
it looks very nice this way (to me anyway)
(it took me a day to get used to it tho)
we have wood beams on this side of house, so maybe the trim is wood anyway
it blends with wood now, so has diff look
the ceiling remains white tho, he didnt paint it
we have territorial house with wood beams, built in '47
do you have houses like this where you are
(it may be poured concrete)
the add-on was built in '76, and is block, and has no beams
Love, Palo

A few of our older houses have brick construction and some even have basements, but most of the newer homes are semi-cheesie things throw up on concrete slabs.

Your homes were built with nice thick walls to retain what cool there was during the night, and then to be pleasant during the heat of the day. And just the opposite during winter. Yours sounds very nice to me.

I've decided that I would rather have a few bites of the king's food, than an all-you-can-eat buffet of the pauper's.

If that makes any sense to you. ;-)
