It was SO much fun reading the mail service nigh the agony of making decisions around your own family. I tin come up across that I am non solitary amongst this affliction......Support grouping?
You probably call up I take A LOT of gratis 4th dimension to do all this, but I really don't. My partner is gone for a month, together with we finished upwardly well-nigh of our projects [or hopefully got them inward a "happy identify"] and so I seem to accept a footling likewise much fourth dimension on my hands.
AND...hither we are near the guest room. It is finished together with decisions bring been made. My sister came upwardly amongst a vivid design. I hope everyone has a sis.
Here we are inward all our glory at Christmas, 1964! That is me on the left. I intend the white socks add together a overnice bear on to the outfit!
Anyway.....we were studying the photos of the room too had an AH HA minute. Let's set up the burlap headboard inward the other guest room [which is white also will acquaint upwards ameliorate] in addition to figure out something else for the nighttime greyness room. OK...but what? And it needs to alive unloose. Hmmmm.....and and so I get up inward the attic every bit well as observe an old door from when we renovated the family. We drag it down [it's a heavy business firm woods door]. OK...nosotros will cutting it downward in improver to pigment it. That but seemed to predictable. But....keeping an open upward mind. Off to Home Depot to acquire hooks. On the agency nosotros passed a debate that had these large bolts inwards it...sort of industrial. That's it. We volition part the bolts to lay it inwards together with add together a trivial interest. THEN....nosotros decided not to even cutting it downward or paint it. Leave it long likewise variety of "shabbyish". I was getting a headache trying to figure out how to learn these large bolts secured inwards plaster [my dwelling house was built inwards 1946]. If anyone out inward that location has e'er dealt amongst plaster it can alive a "bitch". I was trying to drill into it inward 1 example as well every bit ended upward amongst a hole the size of lake Michigan. So, we are standing at that place just irritating the dude inward the orangish apron every bit good every bit my sister slapped me. I looked at her together with was make to slap dorsum when she said "we will only fix the bolts inward the door in addition to HANG it with mirror hooks. Like a "fakeout" or a "faux bolt". Whew...I was all over that thought. People who know me goodness, know that I HATE to boom, screw, or bolt anything. It makes me anxious!
Here are the pictures of the door from the attic, before.
The colour was pretty skillful...non white but non yellowish.
A closeup of the bolt.
After we hung it. Left the dark grip on also.
ii more small-scale changes. I changed out the lamps, too I did purchase the gray quilt from Target. I take had those lamps for 10 years it seems. They were inward my attic...actually!
Here it is...all done. I am putting yellowish caution tape across the door. Maggie [my sis] said she volition kill me if I alter some other affair!
Kept the primary copy rug. Took the other 1 dorsum to IKEA....e'er been to IKEA on a Sat? Don't do it...I call back they motorcoach them inward. That was painful.
