Two Rooms Done!

After the bathroom was finished we tackled our bedroom...and slept in our living room for a few months! We actually ended up turning two rooms into one to make a huge master bedroom. While the bedroom presented a few less obstacles than the bathroom we still managed to find a lot of rotten wood, a severely off level floor and a wall where a window used to be with NO insulation! To top it off Bill also had to re-do a lot of the drywall work because when we ripped the side of the house off in the summer all of the screws popped and the corners cracked. All in all we are pretty proud of this room, especially Bill's trim work. He makes all of our door/window casings and baseboards himself (so glad I married such a handy guy!). One of the cool choices that we made in this room was to do bamboo flooring. It looks really awesome and its great because it is a renewable resource so we are also making an environmental contribution. 

Here are a couple of before pictures (the first one from before we moved in):

These are a few of the after pictures:
