Done and Neat

This is the almost finished product.  The next phase will be next winter when the tile floor will be replaced with a light shade of laminate and the futon will be replaced with a nice sofa bed in a light beige.  I need light colors around me.

Kevin removed the upper part of the desk which I think looks much airier now.  He also suggested hanging both blinds at the same height which gives the illusion of 2 large windows instead of 1 large and 1 small.  I like this very much.

I'm also not going to bring the desk chair back in.  I'll use one of the kitchen chairs or maybe buy a new desk chair next year.

I'm very happy with the repair.  It feels good knowing (hoping) that there will be no more water damage for a long, long time.
