a living room that lives again

Posted on June 22, 2011 by thirdstoryies

Progress is slow and comes in bits and spurts as we get the time, but we do have primer on the walls, and some trim paint and a larger color sample are coming this evening.  We’ve got roofers coming to give us quotes on the work that we need to have done there (on the flat portion that you can’t see) – that’s what has held us up on the bookshelves and the fireplace.  We need to know just what the roof (not optional) is going to cost before we purchase fireplaces and bookshelves (desirable, but still optional).  It rained all of April and May, so we could never get anyone up to look at the roof, and late May and early June have been a whirlwind.  But we’re back on track I think, and ready to get this show on the road.
F’s invitations are going out today and tomorrow, and this room just might be our rainy day backup plan.  A big empty, echo-y room to set up an indoor picnic in.  Fingers crossed for sunshine…
