Oh I had so hoped to be finished with the guest room by Thanksgiving but it did not happen – we have been working on it daily but these ole bodies wear out by mid afternoon but that isn’t the hold up – it’s the carpeting. We were to get it installed last Wednesday but there was a glitch so now hopefully sometime this next week it will happen, then the bed can be delivered.
All the tape is removed…windows washed, trim dusted…now we wait! But I didn’t take pictures of the cleaned up space…still a few things laying around but they will soon be put away.
The walls are sort of a Khaki and the trim is a Pewter color.
Don’t the dormers look darker??? They aren’t though – just the way the light hits.
This is the carpet we chose – we were going to get a plush but decided on a short shaggy style.
Closet is ready – just need the carpet in and then the rest of the shelves and hanging rods will be put up – we didn’t want the installer to hit his head on the shelves that were lower.
Not much to look at I know but hopefully by the end of next week it will look like a bedroom again, only nicer.
It’s so cold here so my cooking is going towards casseroles and this delicious Chicken Pot Pie.
I wish I had something fun to share with you today but unfortunately with all that has been going on with the upstairs it is rather boring here.
Saturday we are taking Darren and MaryAnn with us shopping for Christmas for the little ones – I just don’t know what to get for them anymore…kids seem to have everything! I’m looking forward to a day out with them.
I got a couple of cute pictures of Zayne this week…
That’s all I have for you this time around.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving to all – travel safe for all those who have to be on the roads.

I'm redoing a bedroom for DS & maybe I can talk him into copying your colors. Didn't think of painting the trim dark. Would love to kiss those little chubby cheeks. I can just smell that baby smell. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteOnly negative; IMHO I would leave the closet bare wood floor. Easier to clean.
Hi Linda,
DeleteThe paint we bought at Menards. Walls are called PALM OASIS N158 in an Eggshell finish and the trim is the same kind called CORKSCREW WILLOW N151 in a Semi-Gloss. It looks like a nice Pewter color.
Thanks for the nice comment.

Hi I am getting ready to paint in my house and I would love to know what is the brand and color of the putty shade you used on your trim? So beautiful. I'm looking at Benjamin Moore and so many colors are nice.
