As we head down the home stretch to our first guest (4 days!), it's good to see that visible progress is being made every day. So far we're so pleased with what we've chosen. For example, the wallpaper on the landing went up today - it's beautiful! You never really know with wallpaper until you see it on the wall, but this is exactly what we wanted.
Otherwise, I'm moving forward on the smaller bedroom and Dom did a lot of work on the front staircase between the 2nd and 3rd floors, deciding to paint the vertical parts of the stairs as well as the sides. Big thing was to take out the carpeting on those stairs; they were incredibly filthy. The stairs themselves are in pretty good shape but we're going to put a new carpet on.
I got to do some of the fun stuff today, i.e., decorating-type shopping: mirrors, soap dispensers, bathmats, hand towels. Got the rings for the curtains so I can hem them. Now to find a jumbo-sized bottle of Dr. Bonner's Peppermint Soap and some good shampoo.
