The little things ...
We made more progress on our list this weekend :) Friday night Peter wanted to get the drawer together that he started a few weeks ago before his router bit broke (very strange occurrence, apparently). He had already planed the boards and had the jig set up, so he didn't want to leave it any longer. So ... he got the above drawer all glued together and left it to dry overnight. He then finished hanging the door and the closet door in the nursery. I got a first coat of paint on the wall in our bedroom. Unfortunately, when I got up Saturday I could see that it needed another coat.
Saturday Peter finished the trim in the hallway (the door on the far right is the nursery door and obviously needs a coat of paint) :
He also trimmed out the inside of the nursery, including the doors and baseboards. Now we're just missing window trim and this room will be ready to start setting up!
Lastly, Peter put the baseboards on in the living room - having them on really finishes off the room (also notice that all the windowsills are white now instead of brown) :
Saturday I got the second coat of paint on the wall in our bedroom - it looks much better now. In the process I figured out how to take our wall sconces down and clean them. Very good to know. After that I spent the rest of the day unpacking and organizing the orange room ... tada!
As a bonus I also got the other guest room (yellow) all cleaned up and organized. It's so nice to not have rooms I'd be embarrassed for people to see! After our long day we just crashed on Saturday night, so the construction mess from setting up the chop saw and air nailer in the house is still there. I have a free night tonight so my goal is to get that all cleaned up :)
