It's hard to believe that a month has passed since our last update. It seems that before we can finish one project, we're off on another and before you know it, it's spring, and the garden in screaming for attention...
At any rate, we're moving in the right direction. The two rooms that we've been working on since January are almost finished.
Here, the office is beginning to take shape.

It will serve as a bedroom while the master suite project takes place.
Brett's room is coming together too.

Notice the shutters are up (a big YAY on that one!) A nice break in the weather allowed a full day of fun painting them. But then, the sun went down and we had to move inside...

...to a temporary painting room in the basement.

For you
Dexter fans, doesn't all that plastic look like one of his crime scenes? Yikes!

We're awaiting some mail-order items (door hardware, etc.) before we can put the "finished" stamp on it but promise some "after" photos soon.
Meanwhile, work is in full force in the master suite. Rich has been planning and making preparations on this space for weeks. Now newly cleared, you can get a better idea of this room. From this angle, you're in the sitting room looking towards a wall that will serve a few different functions and casually divide the space.

On the back side of the wall will be the headboard and storage.

You'll be seeing much more of this space in the weeks to come as we continue the process again! Paper is down to protect the floor--let the fun begin!

Spring has arrived as we start another project, and we look to our diversions in the garden for balance as we begin again.
