I’d like to point out that your height came in handy with the milk crate. I don’t think that would work as well for me, but I wish it would. I hate using the giant ladder since it’s such a pain to move, and we don’t have a step ladder which might be tall enough. Thanks for the reveal pictures!

I’m very impressed with your color choices … as well as the attention to detail. The last time Kris and I painted a room, the red couch got a darling splattering of taupe paint, you know, just to make sure it all coordinated. Humph.

You ( and your crew) did a wonderful job! I love those two colors together. Now why am I in the mood for a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream? Just kidding. How are you at wallpaper stripping? I have a few projects coming up before the big graduation party.

It makes me think of a subdued packet of SweeTarts. And I mean that in a good way. Do you crave candy in there? (and has that changed, or was it always thus?

Jen, I think at some point adrenaline takes over. Also, I became a caffiene robot and just kept going until it was done AND THEN cleaned, did a few loads of laundry and made dinner. (My secret? I was in bed by 9pm)

I don’t believe in taping. An angled brush and a steady hand work better for me.

Congratulations on completing your project. It seems like sometimes home offices are low on the list for improvements, but a great paint job can do wonders. My painting tip – alternate between painting high and low as a favor to your arms.

Very nice.

What I want to know is how did you have the time and energy to put it all back together so quickly and so nicely?

Your office looks great. I would add the step to sand after you spackle. Particularly in older homes where the wall board is messed up, sanding will make the finish look really nice.

And, I absolutely love the pocket doors. I wish we had them leading into where we’d like to put our office.
