It's Not Done Yet: Our Bedroom

I had a friend recently ask me why I hadn't posted finished pictures of the extension work we had done this year.  Well, I'll tell ya why... 'cause it ain't done yet. But, here's what I'm going to do.  I'm going to show you all the things that aren't done in my room so far. 

Here's our bedroom.  I'm really happy with the room's colors, the layout, the private master bathroom that never smells like a boy's locker room, the fact that my children have not been able to break down the door because of the deadbolt I had installed, but mainly I'm pleased with how our bedroom floor came out.  But, if it were not for the Roomba we have, I would be cursing it.  The dark floors are gorgeous and make quite an impact, but they show every single infinitesimal spec on the floor.  Like I said, thank god for Roomba because I pretty much have to vacuum every day.

Now, here's why my room isn't done.  See those boxes of flooring attempted to be hidden in my husband's closet?  They still need to be laid in the closet, TV area, and linen closet.  After that, we can nail in the trim that goes around the room.  In addition, the cheap bastard in me really wants to know if there is leftover flooring that I can return to Ikea.  Each of those boxes (there are 3 in there) are about 50 bucks a piece.  Hey, money's money and Momma wants to anchor her bed with a gorgeous area rug.  (You learn these things when you constantly watch HGTV decorator shows.)

This area below was once the boys built-in closet.  I don't know if you remember or not, but the original room was theirs first.  We removed the built-in, (were able to save it and it's in their new room) and left it as an inset area for the TV and components.  We plan to put more shelves and maybe some doors halfway down, but for now it looks like this:

Extreme close up!  Notice that there is no flooring in that area too?

You would think that this kind of badgering would make my husband want to finish it, but alas, all he's thinking is "when is this woman going to leave me alone already?"  I swear, this is the last floor he has to do!
