the suite is "done"

renovations never really end...but here is the suite "ready" for our new/old renters to return. we are so happy to have them back under our roof. the good news is they said we were really quiet after the first night!!! i'm so glad, since ezekiel cried at 4am really loudly and they slept thru! yay!

derek and i worked late into the night on friday night to get everything done for april 1st. i went without naps for several days to try to help take the burden off of derek, i dont know if he felt that way, but i'm sure he was happy for the company.

derek shows off his hard work (although, i painted the bifold and the door--i think its really annoying that you buy a brand-new door, but you have to paint it white, twice! because primer is not quite white--y'know, all excited "yay, new doors!" and then you can't really even put them up for at least a day!)

closet with cedar trim, from our own backyard

new laminate flooring, the hallway, all new doors and light blue kitchen in the distance...

spiffed up living room

and an aside:
diedre is really good at drawing circles!
