Next up.... Staining

So our plan for the wall treatment in the main living space and kitchen are pine wood panels we had sawed up by an Amish Dude from Berlin, Ohio. After, we picked up the sawed lumber from the Amish Dude, Roger and I planed the panels and my Dad gave each board a straight edge and a lap joint.

The first time we went in search of this Amish Dude, his brother's big white horse was loose in the road and the Amish Dude jumped in my car for a ride down the road to catch the horse!



Right now, I am in the process of staining each piece "Winter White" to give it a white washed look. Below you can see a few of the boards I have stained already.



The boards look a little shiny in these photos, but hopefully the boards will soak up the stain and you will be able to see some of the grain and color of the wood.

We have also started painting the bedroom and bathroom. I was thinking about painting the bedroom two different shades of a grey0ish purple but decided against it. I don't think Rog would like it very much! HAHA☺
