No Rest For The Weary

We are still working on making little changes with the house. Keith was off today and painted the ceiling in the spare room. I can finally stop bothering him about that! Next up... painting the headboard for the bed in the spare room. It's going to be black. We are going for somewhat of an iron look. Once the bed is back together, we need to replace the shelf in the closet, paint and hang the closet doors, paint the trim, get a new curtain rod with country style curtains, and add a few decorations. This will be the "country" room. I already have lots of stylish pictures to hang. I need to get some sort of shelving unit, where I will display some of my collectibles. When the room is closer to completion, I'll post pictures. Right now it is an organized mess.


Oh look! He painted the cobwebs too! LOL


Last week we were working on the bathroom. We have a new toilet and sink that we'd like to install, but there is trim work to be done. It doesn't make much sense to install these things and then have to trim around them. So, today we made a short cheap trip to Walmart. We got the trim paint, a couple paint brushes, a clamping mitre box, and some finishing nails. We are recycling some of the trim that was originally in the dining room or living room. He cut the pieces to fit and has painted them already. At this very moment, Keith is in there measuring and fussing with the trim. Hmm.... maybe I'll have a new bathroom this week afterall??? Who can tell?

Here he is measuring and marking... I give him so much credit for improvising on things as we have very little work space and tools.
