Doug is currently jet lagging and lounging on the bed, so there won't be any pictures of any completed room. But the painting is almost complete. "Almost" because the boys were "helping" me paint...and accidentally painted the white trim that was already finished with the wall color. It's attractive. But the walls are painted. Here's a sneak peek:
We now have grey walls! The door is also painted, so it no longer bears the stains of being stashed in the garage while the previous owners looked for better doors. Why anyone would remove working doors while just looking for new doors is beyond me. They had kids, too, so a master bedroom without a door would be...well, uncomfortable for me.
Here's a peek at the fabric for the headboard:
Right now, it is just propped up behind the bed. Not a bad thing, but actually mounting is important if I ever want to put curtains on those windows again. And I do. Want curtains.
And just to add something random to the mix, I also rearranged my kids' portraits in the hallway while Doug was gone. He had complained that they didn't really fit in the stairwell (I agreed there) and that my second arrangement was too low (didn't really agree there, but the light switch wasn't working with the composition anyway). So here's what we have now:
The light switch doesn't bug me so much now. I did have everything level at one point, but the kids have seen to it that they won't stay level. I even tried putty to make them stay. But kids are ingenious about getting around things like that.
Once Doug gets over jet lag (or goes back to work on Monday), I'll be sure to take some better pictures. Have a great weekend!
