I got to keep everything but the master bed set, so had fun building this with some old original house doors left jn the attic when I gutted and redid the room.

I have an old dog with me too who is very persuasive I should stay on the couch and not go prep in the home office.

Cutest terrors, when my now passed lab was a pup, she used to fake having to pee 10 times a night in the winter so she could trick me to go outside so she could happily eat snow

If it provides any comfort, this goof was surrendered back to foster care 3x before finding his home with me 11 years ago. I fostered before adopting and the sweet lunatic would run in circles in my city apartment including full leaps over the couch (returned for too much energy) before snuggling
