Sheet Rock vs Us



It's us against the sheet rock dust!!! I have to hand it to the guys on this one...Contractor Ben is cleaning up each day, and Jamie has vacuumed almost every nite, ...but still, I think the score is Sheet Rock 3, Household, 1 ! 

 I have been Swiffering and it seems pretty pointless.  It is satisfying at the moment, but by the next day you'd never know I did it.  I can't believe I am blogging about cleaning...it has come to this!  Revise: Sheet Rock 5, Household 1!!





This is looking from the bedroom towards the stairs.

Bathroom:  The tub is hiding on the left.  There sure is a lot of work happening around that tub- makes me nervous!  The shower is straight ahead.  Next to the shower is a clear glass window- pretty excited about that!

Dressing Room: Can't you just imagine?!!! Really, you have to believe I have a vision here! Ben inserted our old dresser into the knee wall. It will be for storage, as clothes will hang in front of it. My goal is to get everything in the same space, instead of in various closets and boxes throughout the house.




Bedroom: There will be a window seat with shelves on either side.  In the summer the trees out this window make it feel like you are in a tree house.
                                                           



This is a pic of the stairs as Ben is adding insets to one wall. My idea is to put some art and objects in them. The stairway is narrow and I'm hoping this will give it a better feel.















I have been designing a lot around a particular wall paper.  Today I found out that it was discontinued.  The women who gave me the bad news was really grateful that I didn't flip out on her.  I explained that I have been in her shoes and I will find another pattern.  Good thing I know this is not brain surgery!
