Em-purpled!


Today we put the color on Elisabeth's walls.  Earlier in the week we primed all the surfaces getting them ready.  As you can tell from the picture her room has very little actual ceiling, the slanted walls nearly make a point over head. There is about 16 inches of level space with a flourescent light and acoustic tiles in between them.  Elisabeth hates the acoustic tiles. She is convinced bugs hide in them.  I am going to cover those with self stick wall paper.  We are replacing the really old, really ugly light fixture with a flat profile LED one that will fit the space the same way as the old flourescent one does. 

All the dingy trim has yet to be painted bright shiny white.  That is this weeks job.  We are also removing the heater in the picure so that her bed can be flush against the wall.  The rug and padding has all been removed and next weekend we will install the flooring if all goes well.  Purple is not my favorite color but the paint job came out well and she is happy with the transformations going on in her space.

Tonight we will have another fire in the fire pit and some adult beverages for those 18+ and marshmallows for all who like that kind of thing.  A nice end to a busy but fulfilling day.
