Mom’s house being built (October)

Mom’s house as it was being built. I’d send her links to these as her house was being built.

The picture this month is the garage roof being finished. But the discussions were on paint colours inside the house:

I’ve gone over this so many times and changed it so many time I decided I better send it and get it over with!!!!!!!!! the colors are taken from the “Delux Trade – Classic Colour Range” booklet.

It really is hard to pick the colours for every room in a house at once. I’d had to do it a few years earlier and it was overwhelming. Later on taking each room one at a time it was far easier. As someone who was new to owning a house it was nice knowing that even my mom who had decades of home-ownership under her belt, it was still a tough decision.

She did do better at it though - those colours worked for a long time.
