VANITY MIRROR . . .

and electrical outlets installed. It looks like 'Bat Girl's' mirror. LOL

The dressing room will now sit idle for a month or so until we return from vaca in the Keys. We still need to re-finish the vintage vanity (dresser) that will sit below the mirror.

VANITY LIGHT INSTALLED

In the dressing area . . .

The vanity mirror is next.

CLOSET REVEAL

ENJOY THE VIDEO . . .

( also . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0N7TB8nYEY )

The main closet is complete. Now we just need to put the finishing touches on the dressing area. I will post those pictures to this blog once we complete the dressing area. For now I'm moving into my new closet . . .

Woo-Hoo and a yiiipppeee ki-yay!!!!

A FEW TEASER SHOTS ...

Prior to the final reveal of the interior of the closet next week~

                                      

TALL HANGING CABINET . . .

Is complete.

Now the 'painter' needs to finish the top shelves prior to them being installed. Tim came up with the idea of making the hanging rod longer to be used as a valet hook. When I am folding/hanging clothes I can use this to sort items prior to putting them in their place. I will have two other hidden telescoping valet rods (via Martha Stewart's closet line) in the closet as well. Right next to this cabinet will be a free standing 48"x18" folding table. The table will be kitchen counter height and perfect for the space.

Still more painting ahead . . .

THE PAINT STUDIO . . .

AKA  'My Dining Room' is up and running full speed ahead. The heat and humidity outdoors has not been good for cabinetry finish painting so ... inside it is. Tim has finished building the rack that will hold all our long hanging items but we have decided to prime & paint this cabinet prior to installation. That's one coat of primmer and two coats of paint. It's quite a process ... prime ... dry time ... flip ... prime ... dry time ... then repeat 2x for each coat of paint. I still have eleven shelves to prime and paint after this rack. Then on top of that I will have a massive amount of touch-up paint to do on both the cabinets and closet walls. I think I will have my painters helper arriving soon ... once all the building of all the cabinet shelves are finished. LOL!!!

OH . . . SO CLOSE . . .

THE NORTH WALL

THE SOUTH WALL

Things are moving along. We have the north and south wall to finish building the cabinetry for. Both of these cabinets mirror each other and will hold hanging clothes in the top of each section and the bottom of each section will be made-up of multiple shelves. Tim is cutting these now as I am blogging. Then we have one more cabinet to build on the west wall. This will be placed just to the right in the last picture above ... right where the level is and will be used to accommodate all of our long hanging items. All of the cabinetry has been hand built from scratch by Tim. I don't know how he does it. Guess he has a good 'helper'. Hopefully we made our last trip this morning to buy finish grade plywood.

Now the 'painter' has to get busy priming and painting!!!

JUST A FEW BRICKS

We've added a brick landing around the front porch . . .

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULLY!!!!!!

We love you all and appreciate everything. Over the next fews months I will continue to update everyone on our progress.
