Well, we are coming into WEEK 5 with one week left to go.  It has not been glamorous: its been about painting and electrical, but it is almost done!

My husband spent half a day last weekend putting in the electrical for the ceiling pendant in Charlotte’s room and while he was at it he upgraded our smoke alarms upstairs which felt good to check off the list.

As you can see, we got the walls painted and just have the trim left to paint.  It took a little work to get the lilac and pink right. I think they are not too intense and balance each other out pretty well.

We still need to add trim to this one wall.  Don’t ask me why it’s not there. That is how this house rolls and has for several decades.

Hope Hubbie can find the plates for the switches and outlets.  I got the curtains hemmed and just need the hardware installed. Oh honey…

Yesterday we assessed where we are with ART, PILLOWS and BED LINENS.

 

She got this in MEXICO:

 

There is never a shortage of pillows around here.  The splattered one was made up using leftover fabric from Charlotte’s curtain project.

 

We might paint the frame on this mirror.  Haven’t decided yet.

 

We have this large vintage cross stitch piece that I found at a rummage sale that Charlotte loves.  

It sort of ties in with the bed which is an antique from my grandparents.

And, here is another lovely Mexican textile to add to the mix.

So, there’s a lot to do still, but we are going to pull this thing together by next week.   Until then….have a great rest of the week.
