Little by Little

Each day we work on something .... kinda chipping away. I spent a lot of time the last few days on my "studio" room. I have a very big closet which is full of photo gear (mostly stuff for lighting) and many boxes full of books that I need to build bookshelves for but ..... here's where I'm at now

A couple of weeks ago .....



Today .....



Lea finished nailing up all the cedar yesterday and applied Watco clear on it today. We have do a trek to Lowes this week to get the chair railing and some corner moulding .... she already got the floor moulding but the wainscoting was a second thought and done without the forethought of the needed moulding for the top.



This morning Todd came over (he's a plumber but he's also helping us out with some electrical issues) and together the 3 of us replaced a very old ugly fan with this one .... but it wasn't easy .... I don't care what you say ..... ceiling fans seem to always have some sort of issue that keeps it from being the "easy" project it's supposed to be. But it's in now .....



We still don't have much in the way of furniture. It's pretty much just a couple of moon chairs, the bean bag, the blow up mattress in the living room and in our bedroom we have our bed and a chest of drawers with a TV on top of it ..... but we manage to share what little we have ......





Yesterday we went into Hardy and hit the antique stores ..... we ended up doing 3 trips to bring all our treasures home and one trip included removing the platform from our van to fit in our new solid walnut table. Sorry no pictures of the table but when it finds it's place I'll be sure to put a photo up. The other haulings included an apothecary for Lea and a couple of chest type tables for me ..... if you look closely you can see them in my studio photos above ..... hint .... one has a bunch of my silk scarfs hanging on it and the other has a cane plant sitting on it.
