Your humble little house from the front is actually WAY larger than it appears. I think I should just start at your first post and work my way back so I don't miss anything. what a beautiful homestead you have there...it's like a precious antique that you have restored and brought back to it's original glory only better. I am so glad that you chose to share your little bit of New Hampshire with your family and friends in a blog...now the rest of us can enjoy your adventure too.

I picked a grey for my living room at one point that looked grey-purple and everyone loved it but me. I wanted a true grey.

A-M: "...Tracy: isn't blog-block a pain?!!<br /><br />A-M: "gobsmacking"!!! I just love my new Aussie friends and all the new lingo I pick up! Our Falls in Texas were kind of like you describe there;) And I'm with you on the greys. In fact the whole interior is versions of greys! <br /><br />Joni: When the barn room/barn storage/barn mud room are all completed it will be right around 4000. It's a little larger than we initially planned;), but it just worked out that way. Being an antique house, some of the rooms are very small (living room, reading room, guest bedrooms), but the important living spaces- master bedroom and bath, kitchen, dining room, and the barn room are all larger and are in proportionate to the whole of the house. <br /><br />Caroline: You are so brave to paint! I am not a happy painter!! That you're fiance' is a talented handyman is a gift that you will cherish forever!! It will save you so much money, and you will get it done right the first time! <br /><br />Deborah: Exactly, the ones that looked blue on the barn didn't look that way AT ALL on the chip. The natural light and surroundings really changed them! Then there was one grey that I liked up close, but when I walked across the front field you couldn't even distinguish it from a distance- it just went to this non-color. Paint is so interesting!<br /><br />Greet: Thank you so much!!for the love of a househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151787635612708698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-44283639282210150572009-10-10T08:28:18.711-04:002009-10-10T08:28:18.711-04:00It looks just stunning!
