Almost finished a room...

Week 4:

It is actually starting to look like we're making some progress... On Friday night, Michael and his friend Dave worked on hanging the beadboard up in the bathroom. Thank goodness, the fish are finally gone. There is only one piece left and the beadboard will all be hung.




I worked on patching the holes in the back bedroom and finished patching all the ceilings.

On Saturday, my mom and I went to Home Depot and purchased a vanity and toilet for the bathroom. Then we started in on the painting. We got the ceiling and the walls painted in the bathroom so it is starting to really look good. Michael worked on cutting some more tile for the floor.



Next, I started in on painting the back bedroom. Since it was bright blue, the paint doesn't cover up very well. However, it does look a lot better. Michael started in on putting down the laminate flooring so this room is going to be a huge improvement.



While Michael worked on the laminate flooring, I worked on the front bedroom. This one is the closest to being finished. I painted the ceiling and this is apparently what happens when you do that (which of course, Michael thought was hilarious. I didn't see him offering to help though...) -


I finished the ceiling and started in on cutting in the room. I was determined to finish that room that night. But then.... I ran out of paint. So we called it a night.

On Sunday, I picked up some more paint and then taped off the room. I rolled the walls and began painting the trim. It is starting to look really good. I should be able to finish it this week.

Michael's stepdad came over and sprayed the ceilings. I was really excited because it meant we could finish painting all the rooms. Then this happened... -

Apparently, old houses have wallpaper on the ceilings. So when we sprayed, the paint was too heavy for the wallpaper, and it peeled off in the dining room and one bedroom. So now we have to paint the ceilings again. They will probably end up looking even better, but still, it is one more thing we have to do and it means all the time I spent patching the ceilings was kind of a waste...

We should be able to get a lot done this week because my vacation starts Wednesday. I hope to get everything painted in the next week. We will see...
