We have been working on the family room the last week or so. Well, we have to go to work and this and that and the other and so we are still not finished. I think we need to sand hopefully only one more time and then I can get on with the texture and paint. Good luck to me. Well I would like to show you pictures now of my bedroom. It is a drastic change. It was, as Emma would say, hideous before.
  I textured and painted a base coat and then did a sort of a color wash with a glaze over that. It's really pretty. We don't have the trim up yet and the curtain isn't quite placed where it's supposed to be because we want to wait until we have the trim and put it in the right spot before we start punching holes in the wall for that. We took out the closet that's over in the corner. It was just in the way and we have plans for the future to add another bathroom off the wall that's behind the bed in the bottom picture. There is a whole lot of attic space back there so we were hopeing to add that bath and a big closet. We took those sliding doors out and put in the french doors and we replaced the carpet.
Franc took out the bathroom door when he put the tile in since we were planning on replacing it. We will replace all of the doors. We just need to get them ordered.
We sure do love being here. The other day I let Harley out to go to the bathroom first thing in the morning and I looked up off the patio and right there at the pond behind the house was a deer. It took off running up through the woods when it saw me so all I saw was the tail end of it but it was big. So cool. |
