Fresh air is not a problem when you live only a few blocks from a bay on the coast of Northern California. Think breezy conditions and very mild weather year round. All I have to do is open one of three doors and the house is instantly refreshed.<br /><br />GregGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-24147622590834148542012-07-30T13:00:42.555-07:002012-07-30T13:00:42.555-07:00Why do the windows not open, how are you going to ...Why do the windows not open, how are you going to get fresh air in the house?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05065013314045613438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-36081850819548953582012-07-24T21:10:41.463-07:002012-07-24T21:10:41.463-07:00Gorgeous pocket doors!

I tried getting better picture of the millwork, but with everything painted in white primer, you really can't see detail. And although the color desicion has not been made yet, I am leaning back towards blue. I've leaned a way from it a few times now. Today I took all of my blue paint chips in to work and pinned them to a bulliten board in my office. Staring at them while on the phone is proving to be helpful, not to mention a few unsolicited comments from co-workers.<br /><br />GregGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-33238206764016886852012-07-24T14:39:37.631-07:002012-07-24T14:39:37.631-07:00i'd like to see more pix of casings and head b...i'd like to see more pix of casings and head blocks in place, as well as before pix if any. also closeups of pocket door hardware and possibly a tutorial on installing them.<br />and you know me. i'm voting for vanilla walls to bring out the colors in your stained glass.purejuicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957829225737068395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-41397751842837807172012-07-24T07:31:12.962-07:002012-07-24T07:31:12.962-07:00Greg, those doors are absolutely gorgeous.

I could eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.<br /><br />The fireplace ain't half bad, either. ;-)<br /><br />I know exactly what you mean about fitting in the parts of a bigger project around one another-- and turning to unrelated projects because you're bored out of your gourd stripping paint or patching plaster or whatever.<br /><br />Kate H.<br />www.sowsearhouse.blogspot.comSt. Blogwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173870976749288145noreply@blogger.com
