Finished....finally!

The repair/remodel of the room that started months ago is finally finished! Finished!! I can't tell you how good it feels to have everything done  and to finally be able to get our house back in order. The guy we hired to repair the wall and ceiling (after water damage from a leak) was slow to come and finish the last little bit of work. Gregg finally texted him last month and told him, "You have to come finish up. I may have cancer treatments starting in the near future" and to Rick's credit, he came over the very next morning and finished everything that day. He did a really good job for a great price, even if it did take him way too long to finish up.

Then we had to paint. That took almost a week of careful prep work before Gregg and I could even get started on the actual painting. The last people to paint the room did a really crappy job, and the last owners left lots of scuffed places and nail holes. We finally startaed putting on actual paint on Sunday, and yesterday, we finished. 

Such a great feeling, and we're really pleased with how the room (and the coffered ceiling) turned out!

It looks great! Modern and elegant, and at the same time warm and homely (in the best of senses).

With the tree and the fan, it looks like an art installation. The wooden floor looks splendid too. I might try the "cancer treatment" tactic myself if it gets jobs done.

Thank you, Mitchell! Gregg gets the credit for the ceiling idea.

SUCH a relief. It felt like everything was on hold for weeks on end.

I wish it was real wood flooring, but it does look nice. The floor was already there when we moved in.
