Woke up this morning and looked out our kitchen window to these lovely visitors in our front yard. Of course, seeing deer in Washington is like seeing trees...they're everywhere. But it still gets some getting used to this early in the morning.
Today is our last day, we've been up for over a week now and it's time to get back to the ranch in California and regroup. Next visit Missy will come and our daughter Molly to help with more painting, and more odds and ends. But for now, Mary and I are down to the wire. Yesterday Mary spent the day painting the second bedroom upstairs. She picked the color and went with Behr Ultra, Rejuvenate (light sage green) for the body, and Cottage White for the trim.

I helped her roll on the body paint while she ripped through the trim. All the while Andy was putting on a second coat of sealing downstairs and our painters were still grinding away on the outside of the house. After the main body paint was all rolled, I left Mary to finish up the trim and I started in on the master bedroom finally. Missy had asked me to pick out a "cool blue", and with Mary's help we chose a great light blue called Cumberland Fog, with a dark blue trim (color name is lost on me at the moment). Though I am usually not a fan of blue for a bedroom, once the paint dried and the trim was being painted it really came together, I was sold. It definitely had more of that nautical seaside vibe to it, which fits in with our new PT lifestyle.

Unfortunately this picture was taken with Mary's phone, so it's not the best quality, and the trim is still all tapped off. More (and better) pictures to follow once I get my camera unloaded!

Tomorrow Mary and I are set to leave at 5am for our fourteen hour journey home. Can't wait to get back home to share all the pictures and ideas with Missy to plan for our next trip. Hopefully we'll be back up in a couple weeks.
Our main goals:
1) Get the exterior painting finished.
2) Get Andy to work his magic on the hardwood floors upstairs.
3) Pick paints for bathrooms, kitchen, and den area.
4) Paint dining room, and the aforementioned rooms.
5) Get 1 large pine tree obstructing views from one side of the house cut down.
(not an old tree, don't worry, it was planted from previous owners)
6) Work on getting a quote for fencing in the yard (got to keep our ranch dogs at bay)
