Yes that is orange snow! This happened just this morning... I bumped a new gallon of our orange accent paint off the back of the truck and it spilled all over the new driveway! AAAAgh What a mess but we were able to get all of it off the concrete with lots of buckets of hot water and scrubbing.

The new built on ironing board in my new laundry room. Also notice that the tile has been laid.

We have finished the tiling in the guest bathroom and the tile has been laid in there. Also the paint is done.

This is the tile in the kitchen area of the great room. You can't really see the color correctly here but it turned out very nice.

The tile in the powder room

A close up shot of our new venician plaster accent wall in the great room. This was taken while it was still wet. When it dryed it has the look of suede I think.

One of the Drywallers that came to save the day applying the venician plaster... Most of you have heard the story of the drywall fiasco. Short version.. our contractors did an absolutly HORRIFIC job finishing the original drywall and we refused to accept it. we hired a new company to come in a fix it ( this took a week and with the delays created with the painting etc. we will be delayed about a month ) needless to say we are just a little stressed and very pissed.

Overall things are finally starting to look like a house and we are painting like mad (again, because of the extensive repairs to the drywall we have had to prime and paint the entire house over again!!! we have used over 75 gallons of primer alone. Not very happy about that either) but it is taking shape and beginning to look beautiful. Photos will follow, I promise to be better at posting more often...this drywall thing has been a nightmare and has really consumed us for weeks. Sorry

Stay tuned, things are starting to finally come together. :)
