Oops!

I just spent a couple of minutes going through this and realized that I completely forgot to get pictures of the bedroom in! There won't be a before / after because with the furniture (now living in a guest bedroom upstairs) it was too bad to take pictures of. Anyway there are just a couple of slight problems with getting bedroom pics in right now...

There are 3 changes still in work. 1st is that the mirror came in damaged so we're waiting for another one so that means there's no mirror. It's pretty massive and makes a big difference. Second, the blinds. They still have that *lovely* forest green webbing but I've ordered white. The dark green was and still is one of my least favorite things to come out of the 1990s. Lastly, we ordered some wall art for the huge space above the bed. A king size bed is about 6 1/2 feet across and it's kind of hard to find something that big that still looks good. Luckily we found something that weighs in at about 60 inches across. It's intended to have an inch or two in between panels so it'll spread out a bit. I wanted something great big, but 100 inch wall art that's not actually painted by someone famous and is freakishly expensive is hard to come by. Maybe someday but not now.

Tiling in the upstairs bathroom is coming well and there'll be a brief writeup on how to deal with going from linoleum to tile soon. There are a couple of issues most people probably don't think of that can trip you up if you aren't prepared. I'm going to cut and set the last few pieces of tile today. Tomorrow the toilets go on, grout goes in and baseboards go back where they belong. Then we'll do some painting to get rid of the lovely shade of breen in the small room with the shower and call the bathroom finished. Then it's off to do some staging in the two upstairs bedrooms and touch up paint in the office. The whole upstairs is very close to being done and I'm guessing it will more or less be by the end of the weekend.
