I had to build a slat system for the bed since for some strange reason the queen bedframe rails were too wide for the queen box spring that we have by about a half inch. How does that happen? It's a universal size as far as I know. But in either case, the frame is built and I feel the bed is more sturdy. Ever since we bought that thing and I saw the side rails that the box spring is supposed to sit on, I've had nightmares of our expensive new bedframe breaking...bleh. Not now!
We also got a dog! He is an 8 month old black lab named Jake. He has been a really good dog so far, and continues to learn everything that we try to teach him very quickly. Luckily he enjoys car rides, meeting new people and dogs, and is GREAT with small children.
I have some time off during the holidays this year, and I'm hoping that we'll get some things done during that time. I think our main objectives for the winter are going to be the following:
- Tile & finish the master bathroom (shower ceiling, walls, and bathroom floor)
- Build a corner vanity for the powder room and install sink and faucet
- Build a mantle for the fireplace (hopefully before Christmas)
- Install recessed lighting in the living room
- Install crown molding in the living room, dining room, hallway, office, powder room, master bedroom, and master bathroom....basically everywhere on the first floor except the kitchen and master closet.
Quite a list, but if you don't think big, it's hard to keep moving forward. More to come soon!
