After that we took a break and went to a small holiday open house at a couple of shops that specialize in flat screen TVs. Andy eventually wants a bigger one for the bedroom. We had a little champagne and cheese, got some info and saw some very nice home theater systems. And then went to a cafe in the Grote Markt and had a coffee and a pannekoek (pancake).
When we got home we hung a painting in the new room (a gift from one of Andy's clients that is normally in the living room but we decided that we like it better in here now):
And he put the final coat on the baseboards and the windowsill:
So that's where we are now. We put the paper back over the windows (for sleeping - there are bright lights in the parking lot) and will be looking at fabric samples for curtains tonight or tomorrow night. The bedside lamps are on order and should be in by the end of the week. The remaining 4 layers on the special wall will get done over the next weeks as time permits and then the TV will go back up. At some point we'll also be buying new pillows and linens. And Andy has found a carpenter who will be designing and building bedside tables, a low shelf with storage space that will wrap around the two walls and also closet shelving/rods. So as those things happen I'll post about them, but that's it for now.
