Add it all up, and this weekend’s project was just not meant to be.

Ah well…… we’ll bask in the glory of what IS done for one more week. Namely, the bedroom and the office. Here it is again folks – the before/during/afters that prove we were not insane for holding out on buying a wall-to-wall rug to cover these beauties up!
