It's all in the details

Once again, I got quite a bit done today. The study is almost finished. We moved some furniture in today and it looks like a guest bedroom/study finally. I'm going to have to find some bedding for the twin bed, probably good will. I am finished with the walls, but still need to paint the ceiling.

Disclaimer: The room is not really this lemon yellow, it is just because it is night and the lights are yellow.



We finished scrubbing the floor and put in the book shelf.


Here is the corner with the bed and the crown molding which I painted. Tomorrow I will fill in any gaps with caulking.

I finished the two layers of quarter round on the baseboards and painted them, they look so nice and match the ones in the living room.


Garbage kitty has started climbing into her cat carrier to sleep. I have been giving her treats every time I see her in it to encourage this behavior. Hopefully next time we road trip putting her in will be easier.
Hopefully tomorrow I will caulk the crown molding and paint the ceiling. I still have to work on the windows and paint the doors. Almost done!

The "study"

The second bedroom is going to be the study so that my husband can study for law school while I work on the rest of the house. We have a week to get it ready before school starts and we have done quite a bit in two days.

This little room has great wood floors like the rest of the house, but the previous renter thought it was a good idea to paint over them. Our first project was to get all the paint off with about 4 cans of paint stripper and a wire brush to scrub the paint off. It is hard to see, but this



In this picture you can see the light yellow walls and the unfinished ceiling.


The walls and ceiling were an army sort of goldish green color which made the room even smaller and darker. I am painting it a light yellow to brighten it up.



Here is the husband scrubbing the paint off the floor. It is really a very cute room.
