flooring photos

so here are some updated photo's of 

that 

BEAUTIFUL

Larvik Flooring

and my Annie Sloan 

"Paris Grey" trim..

I love the softness of the room 

see... 

purty lovely 

i like how the guest room floor looks..

(still need to paint that trim...)

what do you think?

Another Assembly day!

Once again they are in that Huddled position..

talking quietly among themselves..

ya just KNOW it's a larger piece of furniture

when C.S. is involved..

Princess usually jumps at anything in her zone..

but she is elsewhere..

and C.S. is quite focused 

it's a bed!

yep a super fun day bed!

we are very excited about this..

because it is for the LL Guest Room

which is slowly coming together 

We wanted a bed that could be used as a couch

or pulled out and used for couples

well..

particular couples

and friends of ours that are more

or less

not at an eager age to go up and down

old farmhouse stairs

in middle of the night

to use the ONE bath..

so it is for our more MATURE friends..

we are putting together THIS room! 

getting more of a day bed gives us a lot of options as to how to use

the room when it isn't being used for guests..

still looking for the pillows and comforter 

LOOK

that I want this room to have

but for now.. 

I think it looks SUPER!

Thank you my love

and my lad!

LL Guest room patch work !

So when Machine Man left things looked like this

Whilst I THOUGHT he was upstairs unpacking

I suddenly realize

I am hearing the sound of a drill..

Then it stops..

finally I think.. perhaps I ought to investigate..

yep.. there is a drill

and sounds of talking coming from LL Guest Room 

so.. I slowly came around the corner to peek

at what was happening.. 

Woo hoo!

Time for the Repair! 

it really helps that Machine Man is so tall.. 

no.. we've not figured out exactly what we want to do.. about that

long gap in our wall..

thinking creatively..

it'll come to us 

time for the tape stuff 

it is never fun to work on ceilings...

Thankfully he has some pretty good 

products to work with.. 

I love my DAP... 

now..

dry ceiling DRY

the flooring guy is coming soon

and we must be a wee bit 

MORE done with this room

than we are right now..

Primed and ready for Machine Man!

We primed and painted the LL Guest Room 

patched that which needed repair...

and got it DONE! 

see how PINK it was?

it's not Pink anymore...

up next

Machine Man will repair..

but first..

I need to show him 

something that I forgot to even mention to YOU..

(all that excitement when Mrs. J was here

see.. it came when SHE was here !)

soo excited!

LL Guest Room... part 2

Home School Assignment for this morning was..

PLASTER REPAIR

PHASE 1

<><><><><><><>

bright and early

we are BACK in the LL Guest Room

me and my gal..

(wait.. is that room REALLY Pink? 

or do you just have bad lighting in photo..?

oh.. it's REALLY pink.. like that dining room was REALLY 

striped yellow and deep purple...

this is..

Calamine Lotion PINK!

that said ..

you know it won't STAY pink!

we are on a MISSION!

so

this is what the boys left us 

what are WE going to do?

well.. I will show Princess the problem areas we are prepared to work on

(not the gaping gashes.. not prepared JUST yet)

will will IGNORE that scary nightmare for now..

and she will do the work... 

areas like this

are all over the corners of the room

we will use the plaster again..

JUST like in the littlest room

remember THAT??

oh my!

didn't read it?

oh..

read it HERE 

(yes click that purple word  to read all about THAT major repair)

she has gotten out her supplies

Dab Patching Plaster

a spackle thing-e

a ziplog bag

a soft paint brush for wiping away crumblies and dust 

because she will have to scrape away some plaster that is 

loose and damaged..

oh and a scissor 

yep that is all..

and.. 

YEP!  she remembered to put her plaster repair in a ziplock..

she will FROST it

FROST it?

yes..

didn't you go back and READ THIS ???

giggling..

you need to!

so why am I trusting Princess to do such an important JOB ?

because I have trained her

she has watched and learned,

practiced under me

and I trust her!

Besides she's so good at this..

she is after all 

the best baker in the house!

so excited! aren't you?

LL Guest Room Demolition!

I came inside to the sounds of

demolition

it's manly grunting, and snorting sounds

and LOTS of machine sounds

AND pounding...

so what are they demo-ing? 

a poorly thought out closet..

we want some more LIGHT and space.. 

so we thought it best to start off with

a clean slate 

destruction..

sort of unnerves me.. 

but already it's feeling more

spacious in here 

Machine Man and C.S. are having a blast 

a very MESSY blast 

smashing things

ripping things out

sawing things..

it's a real GUY fest in there! 

did I notice? 

oh my 

i sure hope they clean up..

before asking me to come and help 

patch up..

FUN new room to do!

the LL Guest Room is NEXT on our radar..

it will be house a lot planned for this room..

and

we have a serious time line on LL Guest Room as well as the Living Room

there is a LOT to do

before our flooring guy comes!  

so exciting!
