construction update ii

living room

dining room
the construction is done, the contractor has been paid, and i’m still working on a few finishing touches: stripping layers and layers of paint from the heat register covers (i hadn’t planned on keeping them, but a miscommunication with the contractor resulted in me needing to keep the duct-work as-is, and i cannot find new replacements); installing dimmer switches and a new thermostat; replacing the pendant light i bought for the dining room that you see above: the shade doesn’t hang straight and the light output is too poor for me to work under at night.
but it’s almost finished! now i just need to furnish it. and find the money for the furnishings… the final reveal may be a month away…

The shiny wood floor is beautiful. I see a lot of potential in your “new” place. So kind of your friend to model for you. Best wishes on pulling it together and making it yours.

It’s beautiful. Congratulations! And it’s good that you’ve matched the floor to the dog ( you will appreciate that when shedding season starts, lol).
