During that time, a couple of very important things have happened. One was the plaster restoration and repair, which I blogged about back in mid-September. That took almost two weeks. The other was the sanding and refinishing of the bedroom floor, which was blogged about this week. The process took only about three days, but then the floors needed a three-week cure time before rugs could be put down. In the meantime, the bedroom has been temporarily set up first in the North Parlour (also, previously blogged about), and in the dining room:
