The former sitting room turned sewing room turned sitting room/Katie's bedroom renovation is, dare i say it, almost done!
This room has the most gorgeous view of the flower gardens when they are in bloom. The river birches afford lots of privacy too in the summertime and the sunshine comes in all morning and day.
The ceiling where the leak was is repaired and spackled and painted, trim is almost finished, walls are painted in Wild Asparagus, floor is waiting on its 2nd coat of Green Banana and then the furniture will be added....oh, and a rug too...and curtains. But, I already have the bed, linens and comforter and the settee and hopefully they will all go in the room by Sunday, cross your fingers!!
Oh yes, and the kitty inspector a
ka Spunky was on the job too. He has been quite annoyed that
the sheet (to help cut down on spackle dust and paint fumes throughout the entire house) used to cut off his access into the room. What is it about cats and closed doors or sheets that totally makes them go nuts?? Oh and yes, we have to buy a door too.....

In addition to that we have been working on the ex-sewing room to convert it to a bedroom for Katie for her stay here this summer. The drywall and spackling (my first time spackling over my head mind you) are finished. The walls, trim and floor have been primed. 
We decided to pull up the carpet in there too after the tar from the roof repair hit the carpet (we won't discuss the kitty stains). Today I will get the ceiling primed and finish priming the window trim. 
Hopefully if all goes well (and we know the probability of that one) I'll be able to get the ceiling and trim coated with at least the first coat of paint.
