We are finally done with the upstairs bedrooms! It took a little longer because we decided to paint the doors and trim a higher gloss. Trim should always always be HIGH gloss! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! And our doors are now semi-gloss.
Plus, we installed new fans,
put up the new blinds,
re-hung the doors,
and did final touch-ups
In all, we’re very pleased with how they came out!
Some of my favorite things:
the way Rob oohs and aahhs when he walks on the luscious carpet in the green room.
the colors of the rooms – very happy!
the airy-ness of the blue room (the color is actually called “Distant Valley” and it’s kind of a blue-green-grey)
the carpet in the blue room is perfect for yoga, using my yoga towel!
the fans are great! They provide plenty of clearance, without compromising air circulation – they’re specially designed for lower ceilings! Plus, they’re so pretty!
the white trim – thanks for helping me decide! I think if we’d kept much wood, it would have still been stuck in the 70s (not bad, but I like the fresh new look of white trim).
the doorknobs that we got at auction for a measly $10! They are beautiful and I love the lever handle! Plus, with new hinges and striker plates, they make it look like a new house!
Currently, Rob has almost all his pieces cut for building the bathroom cabinet. We might start putting some of it together today. Then, we can make the mold for the concrete countertop (which will be awesome, by the way!) and start that (it takes about 4 weeks to cure).
Today, I need to clean out the garage of the old carpet (anyone know where to recycle carpet? I hate to just take it to the land fill… such a pity). And asap I will start to move our bedroom to the green room! Yay!!!!
