So Close Yet So Far Away

I do believe that until the whole house is finished, then no individual room is going to be quite finished either. It seems that it just takes a lot of bouncing from one room to another....without getting 100% complete in any room!  The thing about that is, I guess it'll all be done at the same time :)

I'll show you what has been done at SunnyGrace since my last post.....and try to convert some of the images in my head into text.

First of all, we had to put up railing on the porch, per the insurance people.  I can't tell you how much we really did not want to do that.  The house has never had railing.....so evidently no one has ever had insurance on this house.  We are NOT the type to be comfortable with that, so SunnyGrace now has railing.

We thought the addition of railing would compromise the character of the house.....






                 But now....





I like it. I think Jim chose well with this design....and he did a great job putting it up....and in a remarkably short amount of time! To me, it looks like it might have always been there.

Let's see...what else?

The foyer: We had this....                                                                       We now have this....

 

 

And this:

 

I love having newly sanded and stained floors!

The sitting room you can see to the right of the picture above has had the floors refinished, but it has sanding dust on it from the foyer. It'll look good again with just a little cleaning, as will the stairs.

The foyer will have a grandfather clock and a couple of Windsor chairs with a small table......and probably a foyer table as well.

The foyer table (or chest....or dresser) will set right where you see the painted wall in the picture above on the left (right under and to the left of the light). 

 

 

 

A grandfather clock.....

 

.....will set on the opposite side of the foyer from the table....between the sitting room opening and the dining room door....here:

 

The Windsor chairs...                                                                               with a small table.....

 

 will set on this wall, which is the back of the foyer:

Hopefully soon!!!
