I had a objective to fully end our bed room suite (not together with the storage room, clearly) by the top of this month. And I really suppose that’s going to occur! I’m all the way down to the previous few small initiatives, so over the previous few days, I made a decision to place my nostril to the grindstone and see simply what number of I might get checked off of my listing.
I began with those I dreaded probably the most simply to get these over and accomplished with. First up, the bed room doorways. Ever since I put in these doorways, the doorways have been virtually unimaginable to shut as a result of they had been only a tiny bit too broad to suit into the opening. After I first put in them, they closed nicely. However our home, constructed on a pier and beam basis and shifty soil, is all the time transferring and shifting ever so barely all year long, so quickly after I put in them, they began getting caught and wouldn’t shut all the way in which.
So I needed to take away one of many doorways, lower it down on my desk noticed, reinstall it, and add a brand new piece of vertical trim the place the doorways meet. Thank goodness my mother was right here to assist me with that! There’s no means I might have lower down that door on my desk noticed on my own since all I’ve is a small jobsite desk noticed.
However we received it lower down, and the I received it reinstalled, and now the doorways shut very simply. I can lastly get the paint touched up (and the brand new trim painted), set up the door pulls and door lock, and “frost” the glass for privateness.


Subsequent up, see when you can pinpoint what’s now gone from this picture…


Sure, I lastly moved our router! This factor has been sitting on the ground proper right here within the lobby ever since I eliminated the hallway cupboards. That was over a yr in the past. So the router had change into a fixture within the hallway ever since, with its ugly cable hanging all the way down to the ground.


I dreaded this as a result of I needed to rise up within the attic to maneuver it, and I hate entering into the attic. However I used to be decided to get all of those dreaded initiatives accomplished that I had been procrastinating on as a result of I dreaded them. It solely took about half-hour, and now the router is positioned within the hallway rest room (soon-to-be storage room). That would be the excellent location for it as soon as that room is completed.
The most important venture that I had been dreading was changing the water broken grasscloth wallpaper within the lobby.


In contrast to transferring the router, which I dreaded after which it solely took half-hour, this one wasn’t so quick. It wasn’t tough in any respect (nothing like eradicating wallpaper from the 80s and 90s), however it nonetheless took about 4 hours over two days to get it completed. However it was well worth the effort and time as a result of now it seems good as new.


Right here it’s with a bit peek of the fowl pillow. I like that cloth a lot, and I’ll be utilizing it on yet another piece of the bedding that shall be fairly outstanding. So keep tuned for that.


And at last, I received our new monstrous 65-inch TV held on the wall. This new TV was the one requested change that Matt requested for, so I used to be joyful to oblige. It really doesn’t look as large and imposing now that it’s held on the wall.


I nonetheless want to color the twine cowl after which stick it to the wall. I hung the TV excessive sufficient in order that I might put issues on the dresser with out it overlaying the display. I’ve to confess that I completely love this TV. And I’ve modified my thoughts about making a body for it. This TV is far thinner than our earlier TVs, so it really sits shut sufficient to the wall that there’s no ugly facet view. In order that’s one other venture marked off (or eliminated, really) from my “to do” listing.
Along with these initiatives, I additionally labored on the draperies extra. These are feeling just like the endless venture, however I’m so near being accomplished. I simply need to put the pleats within the final panel (which occurs to be one of many double-width panels for the door), after which I’ve to hem all 4 panels, they usually’ll be accomplished. So, y’all, I’m really on monitor to satisfy my objective of ending our bed room suite by the top of this month! It would really feel so nice to have this large venture DONE!
In different information, Tiger is adapting to spending an increasing number of time indoors. He nonetheless desires to go outdoors through the day, however he’s regularly spending much less and fewer time outdoors. I used to let him out within the morning after which I wouldn’t see him till about 9:00pm. However these days, he’s been exhibiting up on the again studio doorways at random occasions of the day wanting me to let him inside. He nonetheless doesn’t get together with Felicity or Cooper, though Cooper has calmed down fairly a bit round tiger. However any time he will get too shut, Tiger swats and hisses at Cooper. He does the identical with Felicity. However I believe in time, they’ll all get used to one another.
