It's a Frame Up

We nearly finished painting the living room outside walls. We ran out of paint with about eight square feet to go. The color is wonderful, especially with the glossy white woodwork. I hope an additional quart will match adequately.

I was able to shorten the glass curtains for two of the windows, hanging both but looping one upon itself while it waits for the corner cabinet to be put together. The striped curtains still need to be hemmed, but now that the wall is painted, it will be a pleasurable task one of these evenings. OK, several of these evenings.

We have put the illusions frames on paintings, and I snapped together the mix and match frames, discovering that one painting will need fillers on two sides to fill the frame, which is about a half inch too wide. Were it too narrow, I'd need new frame pieces. But the paintings look great framed, which they never have been, and the black frames set off their colors well on the kitchen walls.
