I finished my project before Noah completed his.  Last night I finished the final wall in the bedroom.  I must say that the room is much more inviting now that it doesn’t look dingy and that the furniture is back in place (and not covered in plastic!).  Another plus is that all of the doors are now white — and the same shade of white!  Noah still has to do one more coat on the closet and bathroom doors…but that was his contribution to the project.  My job was to paint the walls, baseboards and trim.  So once the doors are finalized all we need to do is purchase and install the crown molding (again, Noah’s contribution to the project).

All that completed before the basement is done. 🙂

My next project is Christmas cards, which I started last night. Once the basement is done, Noah’s next task is to finish the bed.  Once the bed is in the room, I’ll take pictures.

Since Noah is working with his brother finishing a friend’s basement, I have been sitting at home many nights a week bored.  I needed a project.  Now that the bed is nearing completion, I decided I wanted to paint the bedroom before we moved in the new piece of furniture.  So today we purchased the paint, and this evening I spent some time taping off doorways, the window and some baseboards.  I need to take down the window coverings still and then enlist Noah’s help in moving some more furniture away from the wall (mainly my bookcase, which is large and full…and I really don’t want to empty the shelves).

Tomorrow, more taping of baseboards and putting down plastic.  Maybe Tuesday I can crack into the paint.
