The Blue Room or...Syba has a friend

I've been slacking on the blogging. I'll try to get you guys up to speed. The first pic is of our guestroom/tv room. Some might call it the Blue room. We scraped off the wallpaper and fixed the cracks in the wall with plaster. I primed the walls and painted it a light green. Eleni painted those awesome blue swirls. We rented a floor sander and I sanded the hardwood floors in this room and the dinning room. Eleni sanded all the sides by hand. I'm real happy with the way it came out. Last time, I think I was a little hard on myself. Syba is into the new couch we picked up at a second hand store. Wait, I was talking about the floors. Next is a pic of our dining (green) room with the floors done. I know Syba's cute. Speaking of Syba, here is a picture of Chagall. He stayed with us for a few days. We also finished our front room and library. Here is a before pic of our front room, and following is an after shot. I know this was a fast blog, I just wanted to put something up since it has been awhile. Next time on this Sloping Band House, I'll be putting in a window where the door was (this was a duplex and has two front doors) and I will have pictures of another window replacement along with the rewiring of our living room chandelier. I also bought a new loop pedal for my guitar, which will also be featured next time. Now that half of the inside of the house is done, we are going to enjoy life a little more. I hope you take the time to as well.

Wow! You guys are amazing! Everything looks great. I can't wait to come for a visit so I can sleep in the Blue Room. Do guests at the Sloping Band House automatically get to use that really cool book-reading bed tray??

Eleni is trying to sell it. So far there is no takers.

Are you guys making this into a Bed and Breakfast? You should hang a sign out front that says "Sloping Band House". It's looking awesome.

I want a sad picture of me in the Blue Room.

The house is looking very nice! I just discovered your blog - I've seen Eleni's of course. You're lucky you have these around-the-house talents!
