Day 242 -- Expect the Unexpected

If you would have told me that the massive beam in the middle of our bedroom, the pain in our neck, the huge eyesore, would turn out to be one of my favorite things about this room, I would have looked at you like there were lobsters crawling out of your ears. But when I saw it this afternoon, I wasn't just pacified. I actually, really and truly, like it. Love it even? It turned out beautifully. I am really glad we decided not to box it in....and when I say "we", I mean "I". :P

The rest of the staining also got done today. All the hand rails as well as the newel caps.

The rest of the day was spent prepping to spray tomorrow. They said they should be done by end of day tomorrow. That would be amazing! Can't wait to see that "wow" wall in white. Try saying that 3 times real fast.
