Room by room, we're slowly getting there

Finally, we’re finished repainting the guest bedroom!

Not only did we have to repaint the walls, but there were also a few bumps and cracks here and there that needed to be sanded and filled. There was also a huge hole in the ceiling from a couple of months ago.

What happened there? I hear you ask.

Well, a certain French Canadian had removed one of those old fashioned registers in the floor of the room above, in order to paint it. Then, as he was painting the walls of that room, he completely forgot there was a gap in the floorboards and promptly stepped into it as his leg went through the floor and appeared, as if by magic, dangling from the ceiling in the guest bedroom below.

However, not one to let adversity overcome him, El Franco then did a fantastic job of repairing the ceiling and walls, at the same time installing quarter rounds on all the baseboards and applying a calming blue on the walls.

The furniture in that room is mostly a stressed, antique white, with an older Victorian feel to it, so it all works very well with the blue colour.

I have to say, all credit to El Franco for the work he did in here. The only contribution I made was to purchase a round mirror for the wall and spray-paint the frame white to match the rest of the items in the room.

Below is an attempt at a panoramic shot of the finished product. The photo is a bit of a mish-mash and makes the room look way bigger than it actually is, but it’s the best I could do. You can click on the image for a larger version.
