There are four walls in the dining room, of course, and we have scraped, sanded and painted two of them. Maria’s unfinished art work is on the left, she has lots more she wants to do, we both love having an original artwork embedded in our new dining room wall. The orange/yellow brightens the room and the whole downstairs. Tomorrow, the toughest wall, the one opposite where Maria is painting, lots of water damage, a big safety shield for the wood stove that we have to take down.

We are getting there.
