Dave installed the wainscoting and trim, patched and I’m sure other things I didn’t notice.

Primed all of it, painted the wainscoting (Benjamin Moore’s Simply White).

And now he is painting above the wainscoting. I took pieces of plaster from the wall with the lights (see first photo) to the paint store so they could match it. It isn’t a color I would be bold enough to choose but it was used in this room and at one time I’m sure the whole kitchen was painted in it and one of the bathrooms upstairs, too. I could be way off but I’m thinking it might be from the 1940’s. I can already tell I’m going to love the new color – Benjamin Moore’s Clearspring Green.
