Swan's End: Guest room before and after photo set Just finished the guest room reno. Bonus: you can also take a walk In the Garden at Swan's End. And, should you still be in the mood for more, the entry, hallways and staircase reno photo set will be up within the next week.

Looks great! Did you do the floors yourself?

No, I didn't. I hired installers to demo and install the floors and baseboards, and before that a gasfitter to cut off and cap the gas pipes that were sticking out of holes in the floor. My woodworking dad also custom made four items for me: the hat shelf and hook rail, the bottom section of the centre mirror frame on the vanity table, and the backing board for the centre mirror. Otherwise I did all the work myself.

What a beautiful room. I'm very impressed. The test nap picture made me LOL.

Trilby didn't even wake up when the flash went off, so the test nap must have gone well.

What a great job!

Yes, being a test napper is nice work if you can get it.

I particularly love the work you did on the vanity and chest of drawers. Beautifully done. The whole thing is great. (I would also love that rug...)

Congratulations on another wonderful transformation.
