Our love for high ceilings... has changed

We are working to repair the girls' bedroom walls from wall paper removal "blemishes". I think we may be hanging a lot of items on the walls to cover up all the holes.
Chad is always great at adding some comedy relief. Here he is "junior high"-initializing the red wall at midnight during one of our many late night work sessions.
The beams had collected dirt and dead bugs three inches high. Heights are not my strong suit. After hanging on for dear life for 30 minutes and only getting 1/2 a beam cleaned, Chad took over and finished all the rest in about the same amount of time.

The kids bathroom is still under construction. I found a dresser at a garage sale that is being converted to a double vanity... with a little help. Found vessel sinks at a bargain price online from a business that was closing... then we had to sink them down to accommodate the cheap faucets that I bought (I was not spending a small fortune for special vessel faucets)Again, too many HGTV ideas, and not always the knowledge to finish the project all the way thru. Alaina and Dan helped us get the shower tiled, the floor and vanity top now have tiles too... the grout however is still missing from all. I have a feeling that project will take on a crazy life all of its own!
Here Chad is showing his comfort with heights. A two-story scaffolding wasn't tall enough to get paint up to the peak... so he also added a foot stool... children don't try this at home! I think I need a sedative just thinking about it!... also somehow misjudged how much green paint was need... so if anyone needs a few gallons of cilantro cream, I have a "few".

Main floor painted (minus the laundry room and mud room) - CHECK
Tile in place (minus kitchen backsplash and all grout) - CHECK
Wood Floor with its final finish- CHECK

needing second floor drywall completed, primed, painted, grouted, plumbing hooked up, carpet, closet rods/shelves or both... by Tuesday?...

stay tuned for a Tuesday update...
