Interior Buildout - First Floor Bedroom

Just framed. We're sleeping in the tent, the walls have been framed, and there's plastic serving as a wall between the bedroom and the bathroom (behind the tent). Ceiling joists have yet to be put in.
In this picture, the first floor bedroom is still largely under construction, although we've been using it all along. The joists in the ceiling are still exposed, but the finished tongue & groove wall shows what the rest of the walls will look like. On the wall on the left, you can see the rigid foamboard, which we added to increase the insulation over what the SIPs provided.
Looking in the other direction. The bedroom closet is marked out with 2x4s, and the left door goes out to the main room, and the right goes to the first floor bathroom.
The first floor bedroom is largely finished. The tongue and groove wall paneling is finished, it has lights, doors, and the floor is finished. The lights are an overhead light, and bear sconces above the bed. The doors are pine, with a thumb latch-style closure. The only thing lacking is closet doors, and a bureau.
