Transcript

Recently, we've been renovating our guest bedroom. Last week, we started with the flooring, and I decided to do herringbone again. Basically, the whole house is herringbone. But I wanna say we mastered it now because this only took two days. But what didn't take us two days was the wood paneling on the wall. Hindsight, I don't know why we decided to put paneling on a wall with multiple corners. It was such a pain. There worse so many cuts, and our ceiling is not level down tier, by the way. We were also able to stall the built in closets. I think these are my favorite closets in the entire house. I just think they were designed really well. I love the doors on them. I know a lot of people don't lay doors on closets, but I just love how they always look so tidy. But better two weeks, this is what we got done in the room. Not done yet. We still have trims, curtains to put up, and obviously a bad, so we'll be back.
