So, this week was the guest room. I started there because (1) I needed to get as many boxes from the barn sorted as I could; (2) I needed to "ease" into the cleaning; and (3) it's the tail end of another project. I did run into a snag. I want to get pictures hung ... I'm re-arranging my "gallery" (moving a lot of pix from the bedroom to the guest room, where they can be shared better). I didn't have enough picture hooks, so got some after work today. I tried very hard to use the paper pattern method, but it just didn't work right. I ended up getting 6 pictures hung before I had to give up for the night. I have 3 more "big" pictures to hang; and I need to find about 6 to 8 smaller ones to fill in.
The last step will be the last of the detail cleaning - sweeping cobwebs from the ceiling; cleaning the ceiling fan; and vacuuming. Of course, the room still needs a bed ... but that can be added when I am able to get all the components together (box spring in the attic, rails in the barn rafters, headboard & footboard at a friend's house, air mattress in the closet!).
I have added some fun touches ... a big basket with towels & lotion; a CD player; a rocking chair.
I'm not posting any pictures tonight. I will take some when I finish the pictures, and more when I get a bed in there. I'll keep working on the pictures in evenings this week.
Next week my project room is this one. Since I just finished it, I only have a few bits and pieces to find places for, and the detail cleaning. I really hope I have lots of sewing time ... I didn't get as much of that done as I hoped over the weekend.
