Guest Room Progress! Almost Done!

 

Here we see the real progress… 

A project begun in November… 

The goal to have a real guest room!

The need really presented itself last fall

With pandemic issues rising 

And the possibility of needing to quarantine 

Apart

To try to control both of us becoming ill

At the same time 

A bummer at anytime 

Pandemic or not

And the end of the scramble 

If a real guest room is needed 

When everything gets back to normal-ish

Shockingly we were able to source a bed frame 

And mattress 

For around 500 dollars 

It wasn’t in the budget 

But neither is one of us giving up 

Sleeping for a possible 2 week quarantine 

Even the few nights of mask up and sleep separate 

Until an official test can be scheduled…

Home tests have helped…

But if a positive result… 

A cozy exile is a comfort 

Just knowing that you will rest fully 

And obviously it’s working 

For our Skellifriend

This desky -dressing table 

Will soon be filled with 

Supplies 

Everything one could want or need

For a cozy self-care space…

And the details 

Sconce from a yard sale

I took an old lampshade 

And strung some wire

Clipping on some butterflies…

Faux Ivy 

Use some twine wrapped wire to give it structure 

The effect is 

Dare I say

Chef’s kiss

I’m debating the layout of the pictures

Most of this arrangement 

Had been there 

In this rooms 

Previous set up as our Snug

And maybe hanging some plants is happening…

The last corner to be done…

Board games 

Waiting for their place 

On a shelf in the closet 

And the extra linens…

Maybe to take a place in the closet as well…

I put together this little chandelier yesterday 

It originally was for two tea lights…

So I clipped out the bits of wire for the candles 

And it made plenty of room for this hanging bulb

Pendant assembly that I picked up 

At Michael’s years back…

Lil Kits portrait really needs a frame… 

The new chandelier 

Sheds a nice light on him though…

What do you think? 

I’m really basking in the fact that some efforts 

Are finally looking like progress is being made!

Feels like it’s taken forever…

And the office!

Still a bit of stuff hanging about

And adjustments 

To be made

But it is functioning!

Really hoping to have this all super close to done 

And dusted

Before outdoor chores begin…

Getting really excited about being able to get

Stuck into the chainsaw pruning jobs

And move more mulch!!!

Oh! And the YouTube channel is at 100 subscribers!

I’m so excited!!!!

I’m going to put a bit of a room tour for the guest room 

On the next video! 

Until then I’m resting after being on my feet too much yesterday… heating pad and all…

More poetry tomorrow… cheers!
