The last room...

 The last room to be finished is the master bedroom. We took several months off because our second son bought a place and we were helping him remodel it before he moved in. Someday I will post pictures of what he has done too because he helped to think up alot of the stuff we did in our house. The ceiling took forever BUT I think it was worth it!








This little detail is old tin that we clear coated. it was in a pile that we bought and that pile has been used throughout the house.

the doorways to the master bath and the two closets
we decided to use more of the beadboard that we used on the ceiling as the baseboard/
We ended up putting a piece of trim to cap it and then painting it all white. We already had the beadboard and we already had the trim pieces.
These beautiful solid pecan doors came from an auction. The same auction that we bought a 16 foot trailer full of trim from. The doors were in a stack of 8 doors. we paid $10 for the stack.
This tin has been used a couple of places in the house but we still had some left. I hated to see it left int he barn so we put it behind the sink in the master bath.
The bathroom is hard to take pictures of because of the curved walls. This area is beside the shower.

The toliet area.

The bed ended up going by the curved wall because it just fit there better. It's hard to fit straight furniture against curved walls.
So this is about it for pictures for now. There are a few more things that we still have to do. A building to build for a garage, handrail, and the few other odds and ends.

Since I last updated...

When I left off last we still had the trailer sitting in the yard. It is now removed. Once the trailer was gone we were left with the concrete runners that had been poured under it. So Chris decided to move those runners to help make a sidewalk to the front porch of the house.
The big blank area left now. There will be a garage built there eventually.

They started moving it a piece at a time because it had to be cut.
It was too heavy in one piece.



Chris and Hunter decided to put railroad ties on either side of the concrete and then we put gravel on top.

It looks nice. The only problem is that everyone wants to walk on the railroad ties and not on the gravel.

We saved the porch off of the front of the trailer and thought about using it for a greenhouse. Since then we have bought a pool and made it a porch by the pool.

The railroad ties and gravel cost us about $400.

Now I will go ahead and write another post because I am so far behind!!!
