world.
    “So…are you all done?” Lexi asked hesitantly.
    “Yes, ma’am. I mean, yes princess.” He corrected himself, teasing her slightly.
    “Then what the heck are you waiting for?! You know I’m dying over here!” Lexi exclaimed, and Sloan grinned as her bossy nature made an appearance.
    “Do you know how much I love it when you get all bossy?” Sloan teased some more.
    “Oh, would you just show me the damn room already?” Lexi glared at him as she got up from her seat and walked past him, out the kitchen to head upstairs.
    Sloan followed, and Tank shot ahead, running up the stairs before either of them. Sloan was a bundle of nerves, praying that she liked everything he and his crew had done. And the first stop was the redone staircase.
    Each riser on each stair, was a pristine white, and the steps were stained in a beautiful rich dark brown. The contrast between the two was lovely. The spindles on the banister, also matched the white risers, and the railing was stained in the same dark brown as well.
    “Wow! Sloan the staircase looks phenomenal!” Lexi breathed, running her hand over the smooth wood.
    “I hoped you’d like it.” Sloan smiled down at her, before patting her butt lightly. “Alright, up you go. Time to see the rest.”
    As Sloan followed Lexi up the stairs, both their hearts pounded in nervous excitement. Lexi hoped that he got it right, because she didn’t want to hurt his feelings if she hated it. And Sloan prayed that he got it right because he didn’t want to disappoint her, since she had had so much faith in him.
    The redone railing extended down the hallway and the hardwood floors were stained in the same dark brown. The walls were painted a light gray with white crown molding and trim. Very neutral colors that could go with several different accent colors.
    The accent color he had chosen to work with for now was a pretty deep sunny marigold. The rug that ran down the hall, was the same pretty yellow, with gray in a fun design. The dark wood hall table, held a yellow vase, with white magnolia flowers in it.
    “You can add more to the table if you’d like. Pictures, knick-knacks or whatever you’d like. As well as your paintings on the wall. But I figured I’d leave some stuff for you to shop for, now that I’ve given you something to work with. That is if you like it?” Sloan finished, unsure of himself. He looked down at the floor, his hair coming loose from behind his ear, and falling in his face.
    “I’m loving everything so far, Sloan,” Lexi said softly, looking at him from under his hair, before raising her hand to push it back behind his ear.
    Sloan nodded his head and took a deep breath. “Alright, let me show you the rest before I have a panic attack.” He half joked as he strode over to the door that led into the sitting room area. “Okay, since the bedroom is the most intimate room in the house, I felt that it should reflect the owner. So I took your artistic and bohemian style and transferred it to what I hope is your perfect relaxing retreat.” Sloan finished as he swung the door open wide, and held his breath as Lexi took the first steps into the room.
      Against the wall that the door opened on, was a beautiful brown table. It was vintage in style, with several drawers and doors to store whatever she wanted. And the finish on the wood, almost made the table look like it was made of leather.
    They had replaced the dome shaped picture window, with a bigger window of the same shape, letting in more natural light. Underneath the window was a lovely cushioned bench, with a fun colorful bohemian pattern. The other pieces of furniture were in solid colors that were pulled from the colorful bench.
    In the middle of the sitting room was a green vintage high-backed chaise lounge, with a satiny turquoise blue throw hanging from the back. A more contemporary high-backed armchair, with a deep rich purple, sat across from the chaise. Both seats had bright throw
