August 2007









My living room is starting to take shape. The walls are painted. 
Floors to be refinished in a few weeks. 
Electrical should be all trimmed out and new lights hung in September.





I've set my bedroom up, even though the floors need to be refinished.
I bought a couple rugs to stand on so it doesn't look too hideous.












Now my bedroom has a fan!!!!  It has been very hot here and even
with the A/C running, a fan helps circulate the air.













This is my incredible shower.  It's Onyx and is 4' x 4' which is plenty big for me.








This is the upstairs guest bedroom.  Fan has been installed.  All the trash
is from the new bathroom vanity.  I ran out of oomph to clean it up last night.










This is the 2nd upstairs bedroom.  It didn't get a fan because the attic pull-down
stairs is in the way.  This room did get a real closet.  The 2 chest of drawers were
left in the house when I bought it.  They probably were bought when the home was
new.  Even have tags inside showing they are genuine mahogany.  It's amazing
how well drawers slide in old furniture.












The plumber, J.R. Cobler and I installed the guest vanity last night (08/22/07).  I'm so excited
because now I don't have to brush my teeth in the basement sink every morning.






Another view of the vanity.  I'll use this one until my bathroom is tiled, the vanity, clawfoot tub and toilet are installed. 












This is what I built today (08/23/07).  New shelving for the pantry! Now I can at least put stuff
into one area and not scattered around in boxes.








This is the solarium which is on the first floor.  I may add a Murphy bed so the room could double as another guest bedroom if needed.










This is still my favorite room.  Lighting and sound system should be installed in September.  The floors will be resurfaced in a couple weeks.   Then I'd like to find a wood craftsman to build the bookcases and mantle.










Another view of my office/library.
