The Many Shades of White

The last couple of weeks Arya and I have been working on priming (surprise!) with special appearances made by the extra tall Matt C. and Laws. Using extenders, ladders, and scaffolding to stretch our 5' - 1 3/4" average height, we have slowly worked our way around the house rolling a coat of low VOC primer over every inch it. During this process we have watched the walls transform into canvases for light, with blues, oranges, and yellows dancing across them throughout the day. In the mid afternoon (around 3:30-4:00 to be exact) the swing space lights up like a lantern, glowing a yellowy orange. Late morning brings triangles of light that slowly move across the skylight wall; it's like a piece of art. But my favorite moment is in the morning: the dormer is bright and welcoming, just begging you come and read a book. It is perfect because the sun is on the opposite side of the window- so light enters, but does not shine in your eyes- and the view out frames the wooded common area behind the house.

Pictures to come soon!
