Well, here is the impact on the rest of the house. First the living room:
Now two views of the study, the clean, inviting functional view, and the distressing-boy-do-we-have-work-to-do view (with M to make it cuter).
The boys didn’t really paint all that much (I’m not THAT laid back, some control was important to my sanity!) but they did get in some paint, also shown are my cousin and her husband, who taught us about painting, and really kept our spirits up.
Here is a cute snap of M working with Daddy, notice the toy hammers? Gotta love the imitation – I hope like "dearly loved children."
And here are some photos of the room as it turned out to be, in various stages of moving in:
We will be removing the frame and moving the ladder to the other side soon, so fan experiments are less inviting – meanwhile they got the lecture about unbalancing our landlord’s fan! (by the way, the wings didn’t really work on the Bionical. They proved it imperically)
That was a crazy weekend. But I'm very impressed with your renovation and I'm glad B's eye is okay. I think the eye ointment is easier if you (after washing hands) pull the lower lid down, then put the ointment inside the lower lid. When B blinks, it will spread all over the cornea with triggering so much of a blinking reflex as trying to put it directly onto the sclera.
Blessings!

The room looks like it'll be really cute. I really like the "bookshelves".
Keep up the good work.
Hope to see you in August.
