    The Audrey + Gem one also has a painting called “The Clara Worm” http://etsy.me/12EswWF
    Thought is was appropriate since she had a worm bday last year too

    I’ll be honest, these posts I’ll skim over. I have followed links to most of your sponsors. But as a relatively new reader (about 5 months), I didn’t know about your no swag policy. I knew you were different and you didn’t seem to be doing projects just to make a sponsor happy. (Hello, outdoor clean-up with Mr. Clean and Bounty. Please, I didn’t even read those.)So, today, I read the whole thing and the post you wrote in 2010 about no swag. There aren’t many people/bloggers like you. Love this site even more!

    Hi John. Progress is lookin so great! Wonderful that a couple can work so well together. I also really like how you use what you have …. and are not quickly extravagant. Way to work!

    Question: my daddy was a do-it-yourself guy. I learned from him at a young age. He always told me that workwork trims, etc. should always be white unless the (original) stained wood is absolutely gorgeous. Our house had lots of kids. Most likely dad used semi gloss but I am not sure. What are your feelings about my question?

    Looking forward to all your future renovations!

      Thanks Marcee! I would say we generally agree (we love white trim the most in many situations, although if the original wood is unbelievably amazing we understand why people don’t want to muck that up with paint). One addition we’d make to that statement might be “and in some cases other colored trim is cool” – just because we’ve seen nice rooms with soft gray trim or even navy walls with navy trim, so it really can be a cool choice. If you’re sold on white trim (it’s completely classic in our mind, and always what we go with) I’d use semi-gloss paint (first use stainblocking primer if it’s wood). That method seems to work for us!

      -John
