Living Room Wallpaper Pictures

 As promised . . .


Though it looks like I took pictures from only one angle.  So I'll make do with a shot of my back door with a couple coats of new red paint on it.
 

And here's the back door lintel spray-painted Rustoleum "Hammered Bronze" . . .


. . . With a little "Before" action to bid a proper farewell to yet more beige:






And here's the vent cover for the 2nd floor hall wall duct spray-painted bronze . . .



. . . because I can't afford the Arts & Crafts style register I really want and this will have to do.

And oh, yes, here's a the new middle mortise for the new-old screen door:


Once I sanded the paint off the doorposts I found traces of the original surface-mounted hinges, which later were supplanted by the mortised ones, and later still with the aluminum screen/storm assembly.  But barring the latter, always before there were only two screen door hinges, top and bottom.  My door, however, came with three, and all three are going in.

I never thought of spray painting a vent. Do you just use paint for metal surfaces?

Yes. I don't have the can next to me, but I think it was Rustoleum's "Hammered Bronze." If not theirs, Krylon's. It's been fine so far with the heat on.
