John installed the pocket door kit a while ago and he does have the door made, but not hung yet.
Because John had to replace a piece of sheet rock around the duct work he mudded the rest of the duct work area to make it smooth so he wouldn't have to match the texture. So then over the next few weeks he mudded and sanded and mudded and sanded. This was something I couldn't help with since he's much more of a perfectionist than me. I would have considered it done long before he did, but all of his hard work paid off with a picture perfect smooth surface.
He also turned two of the outlets into four outlets so I'll never have to unplug anything while working.
We then repainted the ceiling white and started on the walls. It was then time for the stencil which took a fair amount of time since I decided to do it all by hand. I'm crazy, I know.
The pattern is really hard to capture on camera with the temporary lighting we have now, but I ordered the new light and we should have it by next week. I hope I can get a better picture of the stencil pattern after we install it.
I still need to finish the stencil around the edges of the wall, but the novelty has wore off and I need to work up the motivation to get it done.
John had a cabinet he had built at work, but wasn't need for a job so he brought it home last year. It has been sitting in the guest room waiting for us to start on the craft room. John installed it early last week and finished laying the floor Saturday evening so our next step is the molding.
Now it's just time for finishing touches. John made the counter top for the cabinets with a matching top for the new desk he's working on. He also is working on a cutting table for me when he's done with everything else.
The next post about the craft room will be when it's all done and everything is bought! That could be a while since the cabinet from Ikea and the recliner chair from Overstock will set me back a few pennies and I need to save for them. Until next time!
