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.

Ugly Float and Tape

Getting started on the float and tape job on the upstairs half bath.  Pretty ugly so far. This is just the first coat, which is really intended to just get the tape down.  Looks ugly, but it's actually not bad.  Won't know for sure how it will look till the last coat.  Plan is to do a texture-free level 5 finish.  Not sure if I'll be able to pull it off or not, worst case if it doesn't pan out I can just throw some texture up.

Back Wall Done

 Finally 100% done with the back wall of the house.  Windows installed, trim done, and paint. The windows will probably get pretty messy until I have time to install the edging and river rock along the edge, but that will come later.
