3 piece in living room.
4 piece in dining room.
I made my own 4th piece. For those of you who know me: yes, I'm probably a bit obsessed with crown. But, the 4th piece is my attempt to hide the LVL I put in to strengthen up the center of the house. I actually didn't want to do a 4th piece, but design-wise, I had to do something. Classic

Painter comes tomorrow. And though there have been many successes in the project, the renovation has been a major failure. Its not ready to paint. There is an enormous punch list to complete. Its a job site with a baby arriving any time now.
Notwithstanding, I'm going to learn to let go. Maybe another 3 years or living in a construction site won't be that bad. #sarcasm #tellitlikeitreallyis #wtf
What have I learned? This house consistently devours four (4) things
1. Time
2. Money
3. Energy
4. Happiness
In no particular order. Its sort of like a buffet, and this house keeps coming back for seconds.
Ah well, let's get a coat of paint on this thing and just deal with it. I gave it my best shot. Chances are I won't really miss the sleep that I gave up over the last 4 months anyway.
