Monday, July 09, 2007 Renovate & Rejuvinate....

I've been remodeling my upstairs room since Independence Day. It's technically a guest bedroom, but we use it as a media room to watch movies on a projector screen. It's really looking great, but I am worn out now. The project has been ongoing for days now. Craig & I moved everything downstairs & ripped out the nasty carpet from the previous owners. EWWWW!!! We then painted the ceiling, walls, & doors. Over the weekend, we installed a new laminate wood floor, which looks fucking fantastic!!! And it saved us a ton of cash by us installing it ourselves. It's a good thing I bought those kneepads this time, plus they may come in handy in other situations.... I've replaced all the hardware & lighting, except for the new ceiling fan, which I'll be installing today after work. I also got a Bjursta cabinet from Ikea to store all my media components. The sofa & loveseat should be delivered weekend after next.

The room is pretty much ready to have everything moved back in, so now I'm ready for a break. And just in time for that is the upcoming Friday the 13th weekend!!!! Craig & I rented a cottage at Caddo Lake. We always have so much fun there exploring the sloughs & bayous of the swamp. YAY!!!!

I'll try & get some before & after pics of the room up soon, as well as an entire post from the Caddo Lake adventure...
