Boo, motherfucker.
My latest project was redoing my master bedroom. When I first moved in, this is what it looked like...

From the hallway, looking in...


From the corner of the room, looking at the closet...


I wanted to frame the closet in to put in mirrored sliding doors, but the dumbass electrician that redid the wiring years ago put the main panel right in the way. I ended up framing the closet out a bit to clear the box, making it a bit deeper than it was originally. I replaced all of the baseboards and trim, installed crown molding, replaced the original door with a 6 panel door, and installed a Rubbermaid shelftrack system in the closet. It turned out pretty nice, considering how nasty it was to begin with and all of the problems I ran into along the way.

From the other corner, looking at the door...


I'll be putting carpet down as soon as I finish my spare bedroom since I need to do them both at the same time. The asbestos tile really isn't doing it for me.

Note to self: When painting a bedroom, lay something over the carpet so if the paint spills, it's no big deal.

Another handy tip: when painting light colored trim in a dark colored room, put a plastic bag over the paint can and lid before hammering the lid back on.

I was pounding the lid back onto the paint can when the paint left on the rim of the can came spraying out and spattered all over two of the walls nearest me. I spent the next half hour trying to sponge off what I could and the rest of the day touching up the remaining spatters with a loving q-tip.
