One day until Florida

Well tomorrow we leave for Florida, super YAY!!!!  There is so much to get done between now and then, but I wanted to take some last pics of the room before we left. Nothing much has been done since the last update, just some clean up. The tiles had to be ordered, so that kind of put us in a holding pattern. We have them in, but nothing got done this week. The tiles are black and will have a red grout in them. (actually we use normal grout and this is a red sealer color that goes over top) Hopefully it will get done ASAP when we get back. we decided to paint the top of the drink ledge and the top of the bench in Stone Mason Grey. We are still unsure as to what color to paint the walls....any suggestions????????

 Sorry this is sideways, can't get it to go straight...

 Here is the tile that took us FOREVER to find, apparently black tile is not that common....

Poor Sophie

Kierstin has been using her sewing machine and has decided that Sophie needs to be her guinea pig. Dallas is very thankful that he isn't!!!

Sophie says PLEASE sissy, I love you. I don't wanna be the guinea pig.....

Fine, I'll just take it off myself....

 Kierstin tied the fabric onto her arm to keep her distracted from the bow on her ear. Needless to say, Sophie untied the bow. :-)

These are these of the puppies after the torture session....

Dallas wants to know why she is bothering him, she has Sophie to bother....

 Sophie is curled up so tight on Dallas, it's like she's afraid of something or someone....

woops!!!

I found some additional pics that show the progress of the room, so they are totally out of order...drat!

The interior walls are done...

 Looking down on the drink ledge...

 Looking down on the bench...

 Carpet sample...

Carpet...

Well, YAY the carpet is in and looks cool with the paint!!!!

The carpet is red with black flecks in it and goes very well with the paint, the edge isn't finished because the guy is waiting for the tile to be installed and then he will come back and finish it off.

Painting Day

While I had to take a quilting class on a Saturday, Steve and Kierstin kept themselves busy by painting the bottom of the bench and the bottom of the drink ledge. When I got home all that needed to be done was another coat. :-) The colors we chose for this were Onyx Black and Candy Apple.

This is the bottom of the drink ledge...

 Here is the bottom of the bench....

 Getting ready for a second coat (she doesn't look very sure does she???)

 Steve looks a little worried about her painting....

 Steve showing Kierstin how he painted the black on...she is studying intently....

 Such a good painter...

 Studying some more...hope she passes the test....

We had to get the painting done that Saturday because carpet was being installed on Sunday. :-)

After Day 5...

Yes I know I have been slacking in updating these...so this is after day 5....
A lot got done today.
We got the ceiling fan installed, the new lights up, the dartboard light up, the shelf around the top, the drink ledge and lots of finishing stuff is done now. So here are the MANY pics of it. Enjoy. :-)

Here is the ceiling fan....

Dartboard spotlight....

 New lighting ....

 The other light, and the interior walls...

In all the photos you can see the shelf that goes around the entire top of the room.  We plan on putting mainly baseball hats on this with the occasional collectible going around.
