Tasty Tuesday

Hi!

We got the first plywood down in the front room! Here it is before:
Here's the during, all cozy with lots of insulation:
And here's the first plywood:
HH and I both really like the look of the Good-one-side plywood. I had planned on painting it, with a dark blue undercoat and then woodgraining the top with dark grey. Here is my test board. This is undercoated with blue, then grey:


This one is grey undercoat, then blue:

It's really hard to see the difference...

Anyway, I also have dark grey stain, that we had planned on using in the back room when it was going to be a porch. You can see the walls are stained behind the dresser:
Hmm... which way to go?

I also caulked and painted the back room baseboards, but they turned out terrible.  I have to redo the caulking because there are still some gaps. I tried to freehand the paint and the top looks fine, but it was really hard to get a nice clean edge on the floor.  I guess I'll have to put down tape. And since I have to touch up some floor paint, I may seal up the edge of the tape with it, so I don't get any bleed through.  Then I should have a nice edge about 1/8" away.  That's my plan, but I'm not sure I want to move all the furniture away from the walls again, so it may wait till later...

Anyway, here is this week's meal plan:
