Although most of the bigger things are complete, our painter has stayed busy with touch-ups, trim staining, final coats of poly and touch-up painting. The rest of us have worked hard cleaning out sheds, unpacking more boxes, and even hanging a few things on the walls. John learned some tips on working with barn wood from Chad, the guy who did all the barn wood in the guest bathroom, so we decided to embark upon a little project in the dining room and put up a barn wood chair rail. After a few staining recommendations from our painter, we experimented with some colors and the results turned out awesome! It was fun to work on that together - one project down and more than one to go :).
Built-in drawers in the guest room before...and after. Walls were painted as well - paneling looks better painted :).
The guest bathroom is complete and usable!! The countertop turned out awesome, and the walls are really cool.
The barn wood project...turned out great! And the bull decor from my mother-in-law makes a really nice touch.
The previous owner had a beautiful elk chandelier in the living room so after she had it picked up, we found one online that works great in the living room. It's so nice to have good lighting in there again!
My mother-in-law helped me put a few pictures on the shelves, and thank goodness the taxidermist finished John's deer or I would have had nothing to hang on the wall. Right.
And the pond continues to fill each day that the sun is out. Love the solar pump!
