This Old House

Okay, our house is not really that old (1953). It is a traditional Cape Cod, with the crown molding and the mantelpiece and the curved banister and everything. It's a lovely house that has been well-cared for, and I love it as much as a person can love a house.
We've done some work on it since we moved in in 2006. Not quite as much work as we'd like to do, because we work and have a 3 year old, but here are some of our upcoming projects:
The living/dining room will be painted with the following:
Behr Interior Eggshell Finish in Vanilla Custard
Ralph Lauren Candlelight Topcoat in Pearl

As you can see, at the moment it is sort of a Napoleonic grey-green.

The kitchen before:

The kitchen after:


The kitchen still needs to be completed, with a small patch of marble backsplash still to be installed, the painting completed, some of the molding replaced and switchplates installed. I will also install a pot rack above the range. We used Behr Lemon Chill for the walls, and Italian marble tiles for the backsplash, which my husband installed himself.
