This weekend was a busy one!  Between visitors and painting we got a lot accomplished.  By the end of Saturday we had the first coat of paint on all of the trim in the tv room, just in time for friends to come over for dinner.  Then after Alex went to bed we got the second coat on the windows!

Sunday we sanded all the trim again and got the second coat of paint.  Plus ryan started installing the shoe molding that got a second coat in the morning.  This was all pretty much after a visit and lunch with Mimi (Alex’s grandmother drove out for a visit).

Built-ins all painted!

Trim all painted!

What’s left in the tvroom?

• A coat of paint on the outside of the window sashes and putting them back in
• A coat of paint on the walls once the trim is all dry (and it has to be cut in around all the trim)
• Cut in the ceiling paint along 2 walls of  crown
• Shoe molding needs to be installed (just behind the couch is getting done, the rest of the baseboards just got painted).
• Shelves and drawers for the built-ins need to be finished (painted/shellac’d)
• Doors for built-ins need to be re-made and finished
• Doors to the room all need to be painted

I think that’s it, basically the room can start to be used now, we can start putting in the stereo for example and run the wires for the tv.  We can put the rug down as soon as the wall and ceiling paint are done … fun stuff!

Tomorrow Alex and I are off to visit the cousins since when they stopped by Saturday she was napping they didn’t get to play with her.  Then Tuesday it’s back to work!
