The trim is fantastic! I love it! Martin is amazingly skilled and so much fun to work with. Lucky opportunities are never overlooked. This trim evolved into a really tidy work of art. It is rather boat like, and if you know Martin, you know he brings the sensibility of a dutch sailor to all he does. I love the picture window and the view it frames. The back door cleaned up amazingly well with a sanding and stain. Martin’s craftsmanship was the crowning touch.
Here is a detail of the trim from the other window.
Once the white cove molding went up to the ceiling I decided I had to repaint the walls a much brighter white. Cheap white paint looks like old socks in need of a good bleaching. This picture shows the newly white walls and the white floor, which thanks to Martin, is all joined together with biscuits and appears nearly seamless. I had my own ideas about the floor some of which worked and some that was not good enough. The really cool trim at the base of the wall was made from the scraps from trimming the window and door. If this were a home remodeling blog, I’d go into all that sort of stuff more, but I am really ready to move in and get back to the business of creating and selling art.
Martin pulled in a minute ago to attach the floor trim he made this morning. All that remains after that is the trim around the sliding glass doors, finishing up the mirror installation in the header above the big door, installing one gable vent, and trimming the outside. I need to get back to work!
