Finally!

The guest room is finished! We worked our butts off and it sucked but it was worth the effort. Now, the room has charm. It has feeling. I just want to hang out in there. Everytime we walk by, we stop and look in. Improving your home is a good feeling. Here's my advice. If you want the stress, go ahead and do wainscoting yourself. If you don't, hire a professional. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we did it by ourselves, because it's a great feeling of accomplishment, but if I had it to do over, I'd hire a professional. So, here are the pictures. This picture is a "before" picture..it's kinda crappy, but we took it before we bought the house. And those above are the new improved room.



I might add that the room currently smells like lilacs (thanks to Fabreeze.) I need to buy 3 more pieces of 'wall flare' and we're also adding a TV and a rug in front of the closet, but after that, it will be completely finished.

My cousin is flying in tonight from Michigan and she will be the first to test out the room. I'm sure she'll love it. Tonight we're going to Truffles for dinner and to see Michael Schaerer play. Tomorrow we're heading out to my other cousin's at the Lake for a 'girls weekend'. Lots of alcohol will be consumed.

See you next week!
