On A Roll, New Trim Is Up!

Jonathan was whipping out the trim on his 'day off' this past Monday.  I was happy as a lark watching  him do his thing.  We picked out and bought our trim at a Builders Surplus store which is cheaper than other major chain suppliers.  Both of us are really happy with how it is all turning out.
For quick review, here is the updated dining room list that we are trying to fully complete (it will be the first room in the house to be completed)-

Fill and sand holes in trim

Paint window trim white

Paint window frames black-

Put up baseboard trim

Fill, sand and paint baseboard trim

Sand off stain on walkthrough boards (or are we replacing?)

Put up trim around walkthrough

Fill, sand and paint walkthrough trim

Make and install stair banister

Paint and install heater end plate

Make blinds or curtains - possibly have fabric choice!

Most of what is left is filling holes, sanding and painting the trim.  Trim is primed white so it looks pretty close to the white we are going to paint it.  Moving onto pictures!  Sorry they are all dark and dreary, matches the weather outside.

Dining room before trim-

Walk through before trim-

After-

Other side of walk through (Grrrr, that stinkin' hall paint color looks green in some light, we dont like that, supposed to be tan (Harvest Brown)).  Also, should note we will be replacing the front door (doesn't go with our style) and the door with a cat door shown below.  We'll also be painting or staining all the interior doors (they are all solid pine).

Finally can use the doorway jumper (she has been walking more this week by the way)-

Hallway and into the living room, before trim-

After-

Break for a math lesson-

Some details that should be noticed.

This freshly painted and installed heater end cap was my contribution to the project-

Jonathan will NOT skimp on any details, all his corners are aligned (though the shadows in the pic do not do it justice).  Since it seems no two trim boards are alike you can only cut and join pieces from the same board.  Also, he cut angled end pieces so you don't see the cross section of the board (not sure what you call this detail?).

On a more feminine note, I purchased a couple samples of fabric to start brainstorming curtains.   This is the one I like right now, only down side is its silk.  It has a linen texture and I would line them.  It has blue and natural fibers.  Probably could not wash but maybe get them dry cleaned if really had to?

Also got these two fabrics for $2 each.... ridiculous amounts of fabric for cheap.... worth sharing I thought.

We are still brainstorming on the banister.  Since we are not for sure on the banister plan yet he could not finish this wall.  We have some ideas though-

Probably something similar to this-

Pigs are going bye-bye today, then off to the meat processing house tomorrow.  I will post about that sometime later.
