Progress...


I changed the fountain color to match the new floor color -it is an epoxy acrylic silver grey floor paint. The little wall going up the stairs was tile red and is now "light oak" which is a little nicer with the stone and tile there.

I was going to wait until the whole house was finished before adding a finishing touch, but it has been a huge job and I needed a pick-me-up. I found this nice pot to sit where the former kitty stage was. When we first bought the house there was a stump in that location.

The corner of the house before.


The same corner after (still need to finish the rejas and paint the storm shutters white).

Jungle room before...


Jungle room after. When I finish everything we will get a nice lamp, some tree fern stumps to grow neat plants on and pack the room with ferns and flowers. I'd like to redo the cushions in bright colors but don't know how to sew so it will never happen.

The front before...


The front after. After we install all the solar stuff we can get new lights for the outside (if we can find interesting ones).

What great achievements, congratulations. The color does work for the house, I wonder if I could go with that much color, but the more I see, the better I like.

Thanks - The "tropical mango" isn't as dark as it looks - it looks different in different light throughout the day. I figured everything fades quickly here and it will be pastel in no time! katrina
