Beam Paint

In the process of painting the ceiling beams and the framing around the back window.  Normally I would like the wood look, but in this house it's dark and making it look a bit dated.  However I'm finding that this wood really soaks up the paint.  3 coats minimum, and I'm not even close to done.  Here is what the ceiling looks like now:
Here is what the back wall looked like:
Here it is part way done:
I haven't trimmed the paint on several windows, or finished scraping the paint off the outside from the original exterior painting.  I found that there was little to no transition seal between the glass and frame, so I had to build up paint on that and do a clean cut with a razor to get a good looking window frame.

Basement Bathroom Progress

 Just for reference, here is the original, claustrophobic, non-code-compliant basement bathroom. And here is progress on the much larger bathroom, even though to overall footprint is the same size. The shower has been expanded to fill the entire width, and the ceiling raised in the shower area.  The original was a generic shower stall, and was very dark and cramped.  This will be much brighter and while the dimensions are small, won't feel nearly as cramped.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.
