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!
