In the last post, I talked about the painting of the room. However, since we hustled to get the room habitable, we skipped the closets. Before the Swedish grandparents arrived for their visit this year, we wanted to get that done.

As you may guess by now, this entailed first stripping a bunch of lead paint.

The closets have been stripped. That’s the most painful part of the job done.

After stripping, it was time for 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of top coat, Bermuda Blue for the walls and Royal White for the trim.

Closets are done and the room is now complete.

We completed the closet well in time for the grandparents’ arrival and the “library/guest room” is now complete… with the exception of the closet doors, of course. There are imperfections, obviously, but overall we’re very happy with how it came out.

As usual the grandparents visit was occasion for getting some more home improvement done. More on that in the next post (which hopefully won’t take months.)
