The trim molding is all in and more or less painted as well. I have spend the last couple days filling and sanding down the myriad nail holes from putting up all the rivets and the floor molding. Those are all filled and tomorrow it will be a short job getting them all daubed with a wee spot of paint.
Unfortunately I had some free time this week and looked through all the large size movie stills I have and it made me want to try a texture scheme one more time for the walls. I have already tried numerous washes, sponge textures, and overcoats upon a now over-painted test area all of which failed to look anything but messy. I will be trying another over painting scheme this time using a large area sprayer and some decanted metallic spray paints like I used on the beams. If successful it could look really neat and more like the movie sub colors. If I'm not blown away, however, I won't be doing it. This is such a small house I can't just always close the door to this room and hide my folly.
The candlesticks pictured are going to spice up the exterior of my paint booth. When I get done with THAT project, and when not in use, it should look like a miniature glowing power orb like we see in the Nautilus' engine room.
No special eye protection will be required however.

Obviously what you need are some dime store salad bowls.

Tom,
If you are looking to upgrade to some Victorian floor registers I can hook you up. We've got a bronze unit that comes with patina - no weathering required. We also carry some inexpensive steel registers that you can paint any style you want.
Looking great! Love the wires in the trim molding. I hate exposed computer cables, etc.
Paul
