...3.7...Friday Update...

...the guest room is finally finished...

...this is about the last state you saw it in though...

...but once the doors and all of the trim and cutting in were done...it was a pretty quick process to paint the ceiling...

...which is also honeydew...for color drenching...

...and then the walls...

...got two coats of honeydew as well...

...it's really difficult to photograph just a painted wall and show the true colour...

...every paintable surface in the room is the same colour...just different sheens of the same colour...

...all of the outlets got covered with honeydew as well...

...and the Man changed out the flip/switch light control for the old fashioned push button kind...and the plate for it sort of matches the dark brown of both the furniture and the metal elk...

...and finally it was time to start putting things back in the room...

...moving out of the little bedroom...which is next up in the to-be-painted queue...

...I actually could have showed you this earlier...but I forgot...while the boxspring was overturned in storage...I took an old sheet and stapled it to the underside...which was necessary because when Kitten was living with us she tore into the underside of the mattress for some reason and used to nap there...

...I just left the old torn material...some sort of thin felt...and stapled the sheet over it...just turning under the edges...I'm really happy with it and now as you come up the stairs and can see into the guest room...you won't see bits of fabric hanging down under the bed...not a nice look at all...

...we finally hung up the artwork that had been in the closet since we moved...it's a stylized map of Paris...streets I recognize and have walked on...

...and then we used a fancy system of post-it notes to show where to put the two pink window frames for wall decoration here...

...the cut metal elk the kiddos had given us for Christmas...

...the bed all made up and the nightstands and lamps back in place...

...and the antique dresser snugged back into it's alcove...

...the bright pink is a complementary colour for the light green...

...and the pink shows up in the window frames as well...just for a pop of colour...

...and they're reflected in the antique mirror as well...

...and then we moved everything out of the little bedroom to get it ready to be painted...a nice creamy yellow...Benjamin Moore Lemon Sorbet...

...so where did everything from that bedroom go...you ask...well...we immediately junked up the new guest room with everything from the little bedroom...

...everything all covered up and ready to move on to the little bedroom...

~Have a lovely day!
