Master Bedroom... FINISHED!!!!

|
The day has come my friends!!! All the sweat, the dirt, the noise, the dust,
the smells, the frustrations, the waiting, the aches and pains, the tears, 
the uncertainties and the late nights have finally come to an end!
(well..... until the next room.) 
I knew my husband was a hard worker but never have I seen him sacrifice 
so much to get this bedroom finished. He put his all into this room over 
the past 6 months and I am so so proud of him. His work speaks for itself.

Spackling is annoying...

|

Let's start off with an update on insulation! Two weeks ago
we had our whole house insulated in a day. Now I have
 nifty lookin' holes throughout each room. 
Again, it seems like this is delaying the process of moving forward but
having this done has allowed us to move on with our current bedroom project.
So even though we came home after work to a house covered in a nice layer of 
dust we are still happy and thankful to be moving forward!!




"...be strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, 
and joyfully giving thanks to the Father...   Colossians 1:11
The nifty holes...



Here is some updated work of spackling done by Dustin himself.
Our bedroom has been difficult due to the many corners and angles.
You have to be very patient and careful if you want the job done right.
Even though he is beginning to hate this part, he has been doing an amazing job!






the project with no problem at all. (Sorry for the butt shot James...)



Moving on to the master bath....
"The Van Gogh Walls"
My bathroom walls remind me of Van Gogh's painting, "Starry Night".
As much as I enjoy looking at that painting of the swirly skies, 
I'd rather not have to look at it in my bathroom.
So.... I am so excited because we are starting
to put primer on these walls!! 
NO MORE BLUE SWIRLS!
Stirring up some trouble

Jen, with the beginning stages of a head cold,
 graciously helped me put the first coat of 
primer on. She is a trooper for doing so in her condition!
 And I am a horrible sister for giving her that job.

Movin' into Spring!

|
It's been interesting to see what has popped up around
our house as Spring has slowly sprung. I have 3 flowers in the front
that have shown their faces. I was so excited that I had to take a picture.
However, as you can see I have a lot of green and very few yellow... 
I have much to learn. 





INSIDE THE HOUSE

The last post had the beginning stages of drywall throughout the two
rooms we are working on. Now I can say that both rooms are completely covered
with drywall. Closets and all! All that's left is a couple odds and ends to patch.
Our next step is finishing the drywall with tape and mud. Easier said than done.

A smile from the happy worker

mudding over the screws throughout the rooms

Not something you normally smile about but I'm 
excited to be at this step.

Angle 2 of ceiling...
(the gray swirly walls that you see are parts of the room
that didn't need to be refinished. But desperately 
needs a new coat of paint )
