Celebrate

I really didn't do this on purpose, but without further ado here are pictures of the guest room project. It's time to celebrate! Who wants to be our first guest?

Here is the room when we had our house guest living here.






 Then, Greg moved out and before we moved furniture back in, we started the great remodel.


 We had new glass installed in the bottom sashes of the double hung windows. It's double thick glass, so it will be more efficient.
This is Bill fixing the weights in the windows.
We've scraped the paint off the walls. The crown molding still needs to be scraped.

I guess I never took a picture of the entire room scraped. Or I can't find it in my thousands of photos.
Nor do I have a picture of the entire room in primer. That's okay, it was all white. You can picture that. The above photo is a painted ceiling and walls. Next, the floors were refinished. Then, we got the window treatments installed. 

We played around with the layout. We thought this might work, but that bookcase was too tall to go under the double double hung windows so we put it at the end of the bed.
We didn't love it there, so we moved the room around (picture taken from the door).

In the meantime, Bill was a saint. He painted all of the bookcases and he refinished this table that was from his friend's grandfather. 
And now we have the finished room. Here it is before the furniture was moved in, I wanted you to see the gorgeous floor Bill painstakingly restored all by himself!
Look at that smooth ceiling. It's beautiful.
The large bookcase fits right here.
The table and chair will soon have a lamp (photo from the door).
We still have pictures to hang, but you can see Juliette has settled right in.

It's time to celebrate! Who's going to visit?
