Another week, another update on the renos. This week was a fairly productive week. We were able to finish all the painting on the main floor and start putting the living room back together! YAY! Here's a look at our week...
We began Tuesday night with John cutting all the quarter round and placing it around the room.
Wednesday night, I finished the first coat of paint on the baseboard and John put the trim up around the patio door and nailed down all the quarter round...
...and we put the dining room table back in! (unfortunately we didn't buy enough felts to put on all the chairs, so we could only bring up 4 chairs)
Thursday night, Paul came over to help John finish the second coat of paint on the baseboards...which I didn't take a picture of because the look the same as the last picture of the baseboards above.
Friday night, we went out in search of an area rug to put down before putting all the furniture in. We were not able to find one that we liked, but instead found curtains we liked! We went to put them up when we got home, unfortunately they were too short, SO no pictures from Friday either.
Saturday, we started off cleaning out the room and floor. Then we brought the couch back up, put the mirror over the fireplace again, put the coffee table back and put the curtain rod put.
We then went out and exchanged the curtains for longer ones, which I had to hem, and put them up. Looks good!
While I hemmed the curtains, John cleaned the kitchen out. We have space to eat again!
We also moved the bookcase back and a few other decorative things into the living room.
Picture I made almost a year ago from a pin on Pinterest. It was meant for the basement, but looks much better upstairs. |
We still have to clean up a bit and bring some more things back into the living room, but for the most part it is done. We will be moving onto the stairs within the next couple of weeks!
