Exterior & Interior Paint


     Painting inside the house is progressing well.  When we visited yesterday, we noticed most rooms had been done, except for the loft.  In some areas, second coatings were still needed.

     We had spent so much time debating other aspects of the house that when we had to decide on color, we were a bit out of breath.  We made our selections based on teeny-tiny samples from Nippon Paint's color wheel.  A bit of a gamble, but we still managed to get tones that we enjoy...



     In the kitchen the cabinets were painted, although it seems here that another coating is still needed to match the inner part which is made of melamine.




The Kitchen Island is coming along very well.
The pulls (ツマミ)and handles have not been installed yet.



     We were finally able to get a preview of the exterior finish of the house.  The white Jolipate finish we chose was not as white as we had thought, but we still liked it.



     Jolipate (ジョリパット) comes in a container and is apparently
sprayed onto the exterior walls.


That day, our exterior moldings were being painted.   Lots of windows to cover...



     This week, we expect the deck and balcony to be installed and the lights as well. Should be nice to see how things fit together.  Also coming up this week is the visit of an inspector to see if the house meets regulation standards.
