not done but have to share...

Drywall is up and although still needs taping and finishing touches I have to share how great it is looking!

This is the stairway after taking down that wobbly handrail and closing it off.

My beautiful windows with grids really add to the country feel.  The original windows had the separate panes of glass but prior owners replaced most with plain windows.  LOVE THESE!

My mom, not so happy about his one...we took out the wood shelves around the kitchen doorway, not sure if we are going to do anything different here but looks so much more open and bright getting rid of the dark wood...and see my grids on my new sliding door...had to special order it because it is a HUGE door but lets in so much light and such a great view of the property, well worth the extra money!

After finishing the walls and getting everything painted Shane is going to refinish the wood floor again. He worked hard on it when we first bought the place and thinks just a light sanding and new coat of what ever goose grease he used before and it will just look AMAZING again.

I am flip flopping on the color though.  Still like the idea of light blue, bring in a feel of cool water, but I also think a light grayish white might look nice...don't laugh but I like the color of the plain drywall.  Closest paint color I have found is Alabaster White, but still looking.  I am thinking yellow for the kitchen and I want the colors to flow nicely together and now sure if either would look good...
