Painting

Better right?

Jim had a good idea to paint everything you can see in the wall black, which I executed. Then I cut the frame and the punched metal to size, glued on the punched metal with wood glue and painted. 

We had the contractor patch up the hole in the wall that wasn't an actual return which made the hole much smaller.

New wall color in family room, airy mint:

They only painted the one wall which they cut into, but the two greens look good together. We will probably paint the rest of the room the lighter green at some point.

Curtains!

We slept in the new room last night for the first time. And also took a shower in the new shower! It was fun trying out all the sprays and the endless hot water was amazing! (We put in a tankless water heater for the hot water in the addition, and kept the natural gas water heater in the old house.)

Today we were working on a cabinet for above the toilet, and primed all the shelves for the closet. Jim played with the router to try and match Joe's handiwork. I have to say, it looks pretty good. Will post pics when painting is completed.
