The Office - Take 2 - Day 6

Day 6. At this point I am just tired, so my blogging might be a little lackluster.

The paint finally dried with two coats and I was able to remove the tape from around the archway, the ceiling, the wall corners, and the door.



Despite appearances, the room is still a total disaster at this point in time. Everything is still shoved in the middle of the room and away from the now newly painted walls.



Since everything is dry, though, we started moving some furniture items back into place. Or, rather, moved them into their new places. This particular shelf used to live where the futon will soon live, so it has been moved to take up this portion of the accent wall. Once in place, we started to fill it up.


And continued filling until everything that lives on this shelf was back on the shelf and out of the way or off of the floor. With similar logic to our closet remodel, nothing goes back on the shelf without being cleaned and reevaluated. As this is my main photo shelf, though, pretty much everything went back on.


Then we pushed, wiggled, shimmied this shelf back into place as well. We didn't actually take anything off of this shelf before moving it, so I still need to go back and evaluate at some point in time. Just. Not. Now.


At long last, the futon finds its rightful home! Thank God. Now I can get into and out of bed more easily and, with this adjustment, we have a legitimate spare bedroom!


You can tell how many hours in a day we put in with these evolutionary images. By the time the futon was placed, we were pretty much ready to collapse. . . but everything that had been stacked on the futon in the bedroom was now neatly stacked on top of the bed. So, there was that.


Even though this image looks mostly done, that was really just because I wanted to see what the layout would look like. In reality, I still have to prime and paint that wall and the window sill (a different color) as well as hang the curtain rod, curtains, and clean. Still so much to be done.
