Well Goodness!!! Remember the dining room, which was scheduled to be stained today?!! It's not!
See this fireplace surround?
It ain't there no more!
We knew it never really belonged in the dining room. It really didn't fit right. It was a tad too wide and somewhat more than a tad too short. Initially we thought it was too short because the dining room floor has dropped a little (which it has), but in reality this was never originally there.
Jim and I carried that monstrosity up.....
.....these stairs....SHEW! It was funny, and I was laughing so much I could hardly hold on to it. As you can see, we knocked the top off the banister (or whatever that's called). We also bumped it against everything we could going up! We got to the top of the landing where we have to turn and go up the side stairs.....and we were stuck. Both of us set it down and stood there looking at one another...no idea of what to do. Jim just kept trying to lift it but I didn't see any reason for that as we didn't have a plan of what to do after he lifted it. It's funny now (and kinda then too), but we did eventually manhandle (and womanhandle) it into place! Every time Jim attempts plumbing he tells me I should have married a plumber. Today I told him he should have married a moving man!
Anyway, here it is....
....in The Greta Room
See these little notches in the baseboard? We knew that's where it used to live....however long ago.
I guess it's back home (or will be when it's fitted (it does perfectly) and nailed in place. Sweet.
OK! Shew (again)! We went almost to Roanoke today for this Craigslist find.....
Wall cabinets....OLD wall cabinets.....Kitchen cabinets. We couldn't pass them up!!!
We considered putting them here....
.....but I SO love the look of this cabinet we already have. I don't know, maybe we'll save the cabinets we got today for the laundry room. I have some great laundry room inspiration pictures I'll post!!!
What to do, what to do!
