Home remodel

I never mentioned that we love our home. It was pretty nice when we bought it but we have taken time and gone room by room and perfected it to our liking. Project of the moment:spare bedroom. We've been racing to get it done. Was planned to be a nice leisurely project, but then we ordered new furniture for our basement (livingroom area) We have a futon down there now that has to get moved to the spare bedroom and it was full of stuff so the running around began. In 1 evening we cleared it all into the basement with the full intent of putting it back in the spare bedroom (not the case now) In a weekend Luke demolished all the plaster, went to the dump and hung nice new drywall. During the week he taped, sanded and sprayed. I with the help of a friend, primed the room and after the awful job we did, Luke masked things off and sprayed the color. Then in another weekend he removed the carpet and laid the wood flooring as well as replaced the closet door. Last night he did all the trim and I touched up the paint. Tonight we're moving the futon in and re-assembling the ceiling fan, then a friend is moving in. Should be fun!!!

Hoping next week to move everything out of the basement, repaint, clean the carpets and be ready for new furniture. Whew, it's been a whirlwind but always worth it in the end!
