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!
