Gallon of Buttermilk Paint

Week #8 began on November 9th with lots of multi-tasking.    Baseboards, trim and crown mould going up in the downstairs rooms while painting is happening upstairs.    I love demo and construction, but HATE picking out paint colors.    My selection process was based on the looking at the Pottery Barn catalog and choosing the colors listed at the bottom of the page.    Here one of my two paint color chart walls displaying my methodology in color selection:

Brian officially put the first coat of paint on November 9th at 1:05 p.m.   The color was named “Nantucket Breeze 521” and the location was in my office upstairs.  FYI - it is the color number 3 shown in photo above.

By the end of the first week of painting, we have the office, hall bathroom, Brooks' bedroom, Brett & Janna's bedroom and the master bath completed.  The next color will be "Buttermilk" in hall and foyer.
Before the new french doors could be installed, Chad had to cut about 5 inches of brick out since we raised the den floor to match the adjacent living room.  This did not appear to be his favorite thing to do Friday.
