New House Blog: Episode XVI - Short And Sweet

Welcome to Episode XVI - Short And Sweet.  That's what this Episode is - short and sweet.  It's shorter than usual because of the temporary lack of house-prep time mentioned in the previous Episode, and we only got one thing done in this Episode.  Also, there's only one picture in this Episode. Generally we are only posting about projects that are complete, and we are refraining from talking about projects that are incomplete.

Housework

We painted the laundry room.  We figured it would be best to paint this room before the laundry appliances are delivered.  We're not yet revealing the name of the color because it is a color that is also used in another room that is not painted, yet.  Here is what it looks like.  There is no electric lighting in the laundry room, so it can be difficult to get a good photo, but this is a relatively accurate rendition of colors.  The darker area at the top of the photo is just a shadow - it is not a separate paint color.


Yes we have a chimney in our laundry room.  This is the same chimney you have seen in previous Episodes.  As we have mentioned before, the big room and laundry room were added on to the house some time after it was built, and the chimney was originally on an outside wall.  We like having a chimney in our laundry room. We like having a laundry room. :)

Have you guessed the name of the paint color, yet?  Here's a hint: as with the 1/2 bath color seen in this Episode, the name of the color is not the name we would have used.  Here's a 2nd hint: one of the words in the color's name is an accurate description, but the other word might not be.  Amy does not know the name of this color, so don't bother asking her. :)

Seed Update

So far there are no sprouts from the seeds we scattered.  We have been advised that the bark on the ground was put there to prevent weeds from growing, but our seeds are not weeds and we remain ever optimistic.  The seed packages do mention germination times of one to two weeks.
