Even closer!

I worked late on cleaning and getting parts of the living room put back together. The soundtrack was my ipod on shuffle which could be anything from Yma Sumac to Pema Chodron! And definitely all kinds of great stuff in between. I watched a True Blood episode when I was done, and then sat in the quiet house for a bit and surveyed my work. I can paint around what is left to paint... and will do that tomorrow morning.

At some point in May I uttered the words late July for a finish for this project. If I hadn't gotten help, it could have been sooooo much longer that it was left undone. I am glad I sucked it up and shelled out the cash. Plus, I love the ladder. The library ladder was cool... the alternating stair ladder is way cool!

 So it went from this..

To this..

Obviously I am still putting the place back together. This was taken yesterday afternoon. At some point over the next few days I will get a real shot of the finished room. I spent a wee bit of time sitting up in the loft last night. It was cozy... and I liked the feel. This was a job that went from insulate this little cardboard shack to make this home not only more energy efficient, but practical. I am pleased.. very pleased.
