I'm so far behind I don't even know where to start. Our major renovation project - the upstairs bathrooms - is largely finished; three-and-a-half weeks behind schedule, but nearly there. Just a few details to finish up and the shower doors to install; they should be here on Friday.
In the meantime, Dominique has finished his office and the little room next to it, and we have painted the large bedroom as well as completed most of the prep work needed to be ready for the wallpaper. I've made curtains for both bedrooms although they need to be hung before I can hem them. Now it's a question of coordinating a number of contractors who will, in order, hang the wallpaper, put up the wainscoting,refinish the floors, lay staircase and landing carpeting, and lay and finish a new floor. Then we'll move in again with the curtains, furnishings, and other final touches.
We've assembled most of the items needed for comfort and beauty: new bed frames and mattresses, sheets, towels, artwork, bedding. Need a few more bath items and some area rugs.
Have been trying out and/or refining several recipes: waffles, granola, buckeye candy. Have some great coffee and hot water carafes.
In the midst of everything else, our roofers - who were supposed to have started several weeks ago but couldn't because of the weather - have begun roofing this week.
