Back to the remodel

So not much has surfaced here lately regarding the remodel, as most of the space has been dominated by travel, El Salvador, and other issues.

This is just a quick update; we are closing in on having all of the interior lighting fixtures in place. We made some serious progress with the main pendant lights for the living room. Kristin found these beautiful blown-glass fixtures, and we placed an order right away.

I just got the last one hung up today, and they look really great! They make our lamps look a bit outclassed though!

The other main project has been the baseboard trim. I am slowly working my way around the downstairs of our house, making some progress, but it is slow. The pieces need to be cut to fit as well as possible, then they get 2 coats of paint before being nailed to the wall. Caulking and spackel is used to fill the gaps where the wall is crooked or my cuts are not quite right, then we have to touch up the paint again to make it look good. A lot of work!
