I've been slacking on the blogging. I'll try to get you guys up to speed. The first pic is of our guestroom/tv room. Some might call it the Blue room. We scraped off the wallpaper and fixed the cracks in the wall with plaster. I primed the walls and
painted it a light green. Eleni painted those awesome blue swirls. We rented a floor
sander and I sanded the hardwood floors in this room and the dinning room. Eleni sanded all the sides by hand. I'm real happy with the way it came out. Last time, I think I was a little hard on myself. Syba is into the
new couch we picked up at a second hand store. Wait, I was talking about the floors. Next is a pic of our dining (green) room with the floors done.
I know Syba's cute.
Speaking of Syba, here is a picture of Chagall. He stayed with us for a few days. We also finished our front room and library. Here is a before pic of our front room, and following is an after shot.
I know this was a fast blog, I just wanted to put something up since it has been awhile. Next time on this Sloping Band House, I'll be putting in a window where the door was (this was a duplex and has two front doors) and I will have pictures of another window replacement along with the rewiring of our living room chandelier. I also bought a new loop pedal for my guitar, which will also be featured next time. Now that half of the inside of the house is done, we are going to enjoy life a little more. I hope you take the time to as well.

Wow! You guys are amazing! Everything looks great. I can't wait to come for a visit so I can sleep in the Blue Room. Do guests at the Sloping Band House automatically get to use that really cool book-reading bed tray??
Eleni is trying to sell it. So far there is no takers.
Are you guys making this into a Bed and Breakfast? You should hang a sign out front that says "Sloping Band House". It's looking awesome.
IT's looking really good guys. I really like that Blue. I like how you name your rooms by color, pretty cool. I never asked where "Sloping Band House" came from, but it's a cool name for it. I really like the paint job you did on the fire place, it's ahrd to believe that it's the same thing I'm looking at in both pics. Good work!
Up close, being in the blue room is like living in a Van Gogh painting...it is the coolest!
I like your use of before-and-after pictures; it has an astonishing effect. You've done such a tremendous job since you started. Hard to believe it's only been a few months.
Syba's under-the-tablecloth position is so adorable.
I want a sad picture of me in the Blue Room.
The house is looking very nice! I just discovered your blog - I've seen Eleni's of course. You're lucky you have these around-the-house talents!
