My drywall is all hogged up too, and when we re-do our dining room, I was thinking I might want some wood paneling. It's nice to see it on your wall -- I like it!<br /><br />Heehee... I liked your analogy to labor and birthing! Yeah, after 4 kids already, labor is MORE dreaded, not less. (Because NO, I haven't forgotten the pain of labor!) But I have a feeling that by 40 weeks of being hot and hugely pregnant, I will be longing (maybe a stretch...) to go through labor and get this baby OUT!Ruthhttp://patchofheaven.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-85576929981257889292011-05-27T23:21:02.524-04:002011-05-27T23:21:02.524-04:00I LOVE the fireplace wall!!

The entire addition looks lovely and the beadboard is fabulous. I am sure there will be many memories made in the new addition to the house, what a blessing!<br />I really enjoy your blog!

I can really identify with the dirt, dust, noise, workers, mess, etc. There were days that we just left the house too! I'm so glad to be on this side of things. I hope the rest of your project goes quickly.Angelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-8448911794566620032011-05-23T13:52:52.917-04:002011-05-23T13:52:52.917-04:00It looks so good!

We recently did a lot of painting and I haven't regretted my darker colors one bit!! It gives the rooms a warm feeling, and it doesn't show the fingerprints. :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09274188459473286447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-90797900539248297952011-05-23T12:24:39.300-04:002011-05-23T12:24:39.300-04:00Wow,I am tired just reading all that has taken pla...Wow,I am tired just reading all that has taken place this past week.

Of course, that is coming from someone that has a different color in every room. I love fall colors and even have a deep red in my kitchen.<br />Reginareginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799857697301806990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-31553870381752201212011-05-23T11:29:52.707-04:002011-05-23T11:29:52.707-04:00Wow!

Andy and I put an offer on a house yesterday, that is two apartments in one house (2100 sqft total) and are going to have a bunch of remodling work! I told him about your addition and he said, "I wish we had large families!"

Should we ever have the chance to fix up our place, I'll remember that - our dry wall is bad in spots too.
