This week we got the wall panels installed. I put one coat of primer on, and then two coats of paint on. We chose a light tan color for the paint. I painted the panels in the garage, then Adam finished up the insulation and we put them back in. Here's a pic:
After the panels were back in, Adam did some finish work on the closet (trimming a bit off the back to make it fit just right) then we put it in. After that, we put the seat back in! It looks fantastic--Adam did an amazing job on the closet, it looks great. The plywood we used--prefinished maple Applyply--has really pretty edges when sanded down and finished (I helped with the sanding!). Check it out:
You can see on the picture above that Adam cut access holes--one under the bottom closet shelf and one in the shelf--that one will have a hanging basket and lid to make a laundry compartment! The middle shot shows the attractive finished ends of the plywood. We both love it. I also can't praise Adam enough for the amazing job he's doing--he spends a ton of time on this project and it really shows.
In the meantime, I made cookies: Double chocolate-orange-walnut ones:
I'm also going to make "Viennese crescents" (almond crescent shaped cookies) and probably ginger cookies and at least one other kind.
Dude is cute cuddling in the van on Adam's jacket:
Also, I think this picture is pretty much adorable: (they're all mine!)
Stay tuned for winter adventures....
Everything looks so nice - I know you guys will have so much fun on all your trips! Adam is doing such a super job so everything will fit just right with everything in its place. The cookies look so good so can't wait for Christmas to try some of them. Love, mom
