Our first step toward being guest friendly


After we finished the master, we moved on to the Office/Guest Room. Luckily, there was very little electrical work to do here (other than replacing the outlets & switches), and only a few drywall patches. So, with very little mud, we were able to move straight to paint and flooring! After Tim convincing me on some pretty neutral colors in most of the house, I was able to talk him into a beautiful dark charcoal grey for this room. Also, because there were not as many cuts, we were able to finish the flooring in this room in about 2 hours.
We also concocted our own lighting solution for this room. We had a lamp that did not make it through the move, so we decided to use the lampshade and a $5 lighting disc from Home Depot to create a fixture. It was pretty easy, and obviously very economical. Of course, it's pretty hard to see in photos. So, just trust us.. it looks pretty good. :)
Of course, we still have to decorate and someday decide on a solution for the computer desk that does not involve using our camping tables- but for now, we're calling it good and moving on.
