room reno almost done: pictures!

 

This isn't even a total "before" pic, as the new window is installed here, just not the trim yet.  When Jonathan was in residence, one wall had a built in pull up thing, and a boxing heavy bag. He had a loft bed, and posters all the teenage boy room stuff...hunting gear and and and.  

The beginnings...new ceiling paint, one coat on the walls...that's the trundle from the day bed covered in an old sheet.

And:  after!  The Pottery Barn day bed with trundle:  the best Marketplace find EVER for one hundred dollars, so nice and clean and new and sturdy!  The yellow chair we've had forever, the little wicker table is outdoor furniture from Target, 70% off, same with the rug.  There isn't trim on the window yet, we are still deciding to change to white, along baseboards too, or leave it wood.  

It's so nice to have a clean new room!  

This fine morning, after the pool, Kathryn and I went to a few stores with just baby Ellis and two year old Jamie.  Char and Cam stayed here with Achilles and Rhys.  We got some seltzers and croissants and burger and buns, and some good snacks for our get away.  

I can barely make it through two stores, but I do like to get my steps in.  Yesterday it was almost 6,000, but oh dear did I have a rough night, aching.  Today I was especially sore, but jeepers, how are you supposed to do things?  

Ah well.  I have to go finish packing.  I lazed out and put the chicken in the oven instead of grilling it...we're packing it up for tomorrow's dinner, with fajita fixings...mmmm.  You all have a really nice weekend!
