WE NEED A NEW ROOF.!.
That’s no surprise we knew that when we purchased 609. We’ve been busy gathering roofing estimates. We are trying to settle on a roof color: Black or Brown is the question. The house is a light (wishy-washy) taupe. I think we are going to go brown like our last house which was a (warmer and richer) taupe. I’d like to eventually strip the front door and purchase the same wood shutters that we put on the last house so it only seems fitting that we go brown. Final answer: Brown. O.K. now that that is done…..I’ll keep you posted on the progress once we get that in motion.
MASTER BEDROOM:
We got the bed delivered. It’s our first King Size Bed. It’s enormous.
For the first few nights it was just Maxi dog and Me. Michael was terribly sick with a headcold and stayed in the Guest room. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing to have a bed with a remote control. Will we grow tired of raising our heads and feet? I’m not sure; but, right now we are getting a kick out of it.
The bed frame is on order from Bassett Furniture. (Clearance, of course. You know I love a bargain.) We decided to buy the matching mirror and dresser as the room was bigger than we thought. My dear friend Mary said, “And you didn’t think a King Size Bed would fit.?!.” Although I had the measurements; I needed to see some furniture in the room before I ordered the bed.
AMANDA’S SUITE:
Austin and Michael finished up the drywall for Miss Amanda’s swanky walk-in closet. Aaron painted it. So, soon the flooring will be installed. The Hardwood vs. Carpet debate resulted in a win for Mom. And carpet it will be. Wait. Amanda realized that it’s a little chilly up there and the carpet will help keep it a little warmer. Once we get that laid we can install the closet organizers and move in her bed!
We’ve all been sharing one bathroom so we are eager to get her moved up. Our Master plumbing in the shower isn’t working and that’s another job on the list.
LIVINGROOM:
Our livingroom furniture is on top of the pink carpet. It’s a Charming look, I must day. The TV comes this week. We ordered a coffee table. (Bassett, again) I found it online it looks amazing. I so hope it’s amazing in person.So, once the fireplace gets redone, the carpet gets replaced and we do something with the doors it will be done for now. Later, much later, we’ll consider replacing the sofas with a sectional sofa.
KITCHEN:
It’s granite shopping time.!!!.
We loved the granite we used at 358. It was Cashmere Gold; but, the quarry is no longer in production. (Frown). So we are on the hunt. We found two great choices at:
And
We’ll see what the damage is and then decide. To be determined….
Today, we have more important things to do. We are Celebrating Michael’s 53rd Birthday.!!!.
Happy Spring!
