Still renovating

No, I haven't died or anything. Just really busy. In the fashion of all home projects, the work on the office mushroomed into its own little industry. Wound up, in total, outside the repairs to the tile grout on the floor above: repairing the ceiling, repairing one of the walls, repainting the ceiling, walls, and trim, replacing the curtains ('cos they didn't go with the new paint), replacing the light figure ('cos it was ugly), replacing the outlets and switch ('cos they were kinda ugly too, and really didn't go with the new paint either), and finally refinishing the floor ('cos it needed it, and hey, at that point, you might as well).

It looks lovely now. But damn, I gotta stop getting into things like these. Was still painting trim at five in the morning, a few nights ago. No, I'm not kidding.

Anyway, the goods news is: one more coat of urethane on the floor, and I'm done. And it really does look gorgeous. Very, very dark blue ('Indigo' or 'Noir', Pratt & Lambert call it) walls, contrasting with white trim and ceiling, sheer white drapes, freshly finished oak floor. Ver' nice.
