The Bedroom is DONE!
Oct. 22nd, 2010 11:55 pmI have kicked Max out of my bedroom...
And I made sure to take a photo (will be taking more tomorrow, in daylight), because it will never, ever be this clean or organized again.
The last of the trim and the windowsills went in tonight, after a month of work, we are DONE, save for the door threshold. What a difference. There is no sign anymore of the disaster that was there when we bought the house, thank goodness.
It is beautiful. The wood in the windows even matches the trim pretty well, color-wise, so I don't think we'll be doing anything further to them except plugging the nail holes in the vinyl from where the old windowframes were nailed through... (dumb dumb dumb) Just a little bit of sawdust to vacuum up still, and a lot of dusting of dressertops and door creases, then the rugs can go down, the clothes can move to their respective dressers, and we can move in and move on to redoing the upstairs room! Later. Not just yet. But before Thanksgiving, so if folks need to stay, we'll have an official Guest Room. Yay!
A thought I had too. Will have to figure out how to attach curtain rods, both for curtains and to hang small plants off of them, since those are the two sunniest windows (hence the beautiful, 6" wide windowsills! Hooray!) in the house. NO WAY did I even consider attaching brackets to that oak. For one thing, I'd have to drill if I even wanted a chance of getting a screw through that, and for another, it's too darn pretty to mar up with brackets. I will figure something else out. We've got those softwood window frames that will probably work out just fine.
Happy. Now, to figure out where we want to poke holes in the walls and hang stuff on them! Yay! (tomorrow. sleep now, actually...)
