Project Update

I want to thank everyone for their patience with my comment function. I am sure the glitch had to be something I did, but I think I have it corrected. Thank you for all your visits and comments. 

Look at the improvement with just the trim painted! 


Next came the walls. I was wrong. The carpet did look gray next to the walls. 


My six year old granddaughter looked at this and very nicely explained to me that I should go back to the carpet store and ask for a bigger piece of carpet to cover the whole floor, even under the beds! So I did. 


It's gray! 

And still gray in different lighting! 

I decided we had to have the very expensive doors. It turned out the doors are actually in stock at a warehouse (not really "special order") and we could save over 1/3 of the cost by buying them with primer instead of fully painted. We place the order and they were ready for pick up in six days. 


Door number one! 


Three doors!  Actually this was to make sure he had all the hardware prep correct. He took them back to the workshop to paint them. 

We still need to assemble two inexpensive end tables and I am looking at new bedding. I found curtains I like so I will try to get a good picture of them. 

I am SO happy the carpet really is gray! 

More updates:

I am going to call it another success. My two youngest grandchildren are potty trained! 

I spent 2 1/2 hours at training and am officially a poll worker! 


Thanks for visiting!

  1. You sure have been busy! That room looks wonderful as does the carpeting. I find it interesting that the gray looks different in different lighting.

    Oh and Poll Worker and Potty Trainer to boot! You sure are a talented lady!

  2. The room looks beautiful! You did a fantastic job choosing the GRAY carpet, paint and doors. It looks so modern and updated. Great job with the potty training. That's not for the faint of heart is it? And good for you being a poll worker. That is such an important job.

  4. I love your new room with the beautiful paint and GRAY carpeting. The doors are perfect for the room too.
    Good for you training to be a poll worker. Very important job indeed, as is a potty trainer. That is always a fantastic milestone to pass.
    May God bless you my dear friend.

  5. Whew! Part of the comment problem was mine. I was visiting from my reading list. that doesn't work and then I copied and pasted your address and that worked except Google asks me to logon when I am already logged on. Crazy! Google has been messing around again. Anyway, I love you room! It is beautiful and those doors are gorgeous! I can't wait to see your new curtains and bedspread! Great job!

  6. I do like that carpeting. Very pretty. Your six year old is so cute to think you didn't have enough carpet. Grandchildren are the best! Happy week end

  7. Whew, you've been busy! Love how the room is coming together, and that the carpet really was gray. LOL...and that you went back to the store for a bigger piece. You're going to remember that story everytime you walk into the room, I think. And thank you for being a poll worker!!
