Taping and Mudding and painting

The addition is coming along really well. Thanks so much to some great friends,Steve and Dave who helped to get the drywall done!! Also Stenfert construction put in a lot of extra time and energy to make sure that the drywall was ready for the taper to come in! Nice work!!


This is bedroom number 1. This is obviously the fireplace and then the closet is off to the left. This wall will be painted a light brown and there will be a flat screen TV above the fireplace.

These are the 2 windows in bedroom number 1. The morning sun comes through and it's absolutely gorgeous

This is where the stairs from our house will be connecting to the B & B. The stairs are being built this week and then will be installed next week.

Patrick, the man who is mudding and taping the walls has been working all week to get the mudding finished. It looks phenomenal. The fireplaces and the heaters are all working full blast to make sure that the mud is drying as quickly as possible. It is pretty warm up in the addition, however at this time of year it's very damp so it still takes a little longer then expected to make sure that the mud is dry enough to paint. My mom was planning on coming over this weekend to help with the painting however the mudding will not be fully finished by then so we have to postpone painting. My mom is now planning on coming over the following weekend, and I am going to go out and get the paint on Friday so that I can start to prime the addition on Monday.

And this is bedroom number 2. The view from the patio doors is really great. Our backyard is completely closed off from our neighbours by a cedar hedge, so it really feels like you are away from it all; it's very peaceful. Today it is especially beautiful with all of the snow covering the cedar hedge as well as all of the other big trees.

And the fireplace...

I have chosen all of the paint colors! For those of you who know me quite well, I have been working on a B & B binder now for some time. I have all sorts of picture and colors and inspiration and information on what I want our B & B to look like. This has been my decorating bible.. I have been collecting pictures for quite some time now and had a pretty good idea of what I want it to look like. So to sit down this past week and actually decide on all of the colors was kind of a relief! I finally know what I am going to go with, and the nice thing about paint is that I can always paint over it if I don't like it!

One of the rooms is going to be browns, and greys, with a little bit of white thrown in there. It's going to be very warm, cosy and comfortable. The second room is going to be soft whites, black, and some vibrant pinks and greens. They will both be comfortable, cozy, funky and very inviting. Make sure that you check back for pictures of the painted rooms!
