to-do list revistited

Tomorrow my family will fly in and I got almost everything done from my to-do list. Hooray! There is only one thing left which is upholstering the Plycraft chair. The upholstery foam I need to finish it has not been delivered yet.

Below you can see pictures how the temporary guest room turned out. It will become P's office sometime after our guests leave. At first this room only had one really low sitting window which was actually a self made window out of plexiglass and some wood strips. It was pretty dark and drafty in that room, that's why it became our storage room.

First we swapped the window for a casement window. It looked already so much better.

When we started working on the roof we made the decision to add a skylight window as well. Big improvement!

Then it was just a couple of layers of paint. We still had a can of Horizon (OC-53) by Benjamin Moore left that we used in the hallway. And of course painting the baseboards and window frames. The sloped ceiling was painted the same color as the walls to make the room look bigger. It's much easier on the eyes in my opinion than painting it the same color as the ceiling which is white in our case.

You might recognize the little side tables and the chair from our reading nook. The bed actually consists of two Lycksele chair beds that friends gave us when they moved back to Germany.
