New Room...nearly done

Ok, Fans...here's the long awaited room, done...well nearly. We're masters at the 99% thing, ya know. I think Leo said he was coming back today. He's got about 3-4 small rows of shingling to do on the outside, insulating to do under it and a whole crap load of stuff to haul on out of here. He's only been accumulating stuff here since July. In the meantime, I've been roaming around the house looking for things to put on the shelves ( yes, those are some coffee pots up there). Several of the things I had planned to put in there just don't go but I've "found" things I'd forgotten about...like that lovely clock that has spend the last 22 years up in a guest bedroom.

I don't suppose I have to tell you all the time I have spent the last week, hauling stuff around...my bruises have bruises..my muscles which had figured they'd lapsed into a well deserved retirement are complaining a tad BUT it's all been worth it. I have flames and a very comfortable room in which to sip my afternoon tea. ( we must get the wireless set up in there soon....maybe move the bed out into the living room. That wouldn't be so bad, would it?

..and I've done other stuff too such as real work, quarterly reports, year end stuff, albeit I'm not done with year end yet. I have new files and folders and cleared out areas back here so we can walk around in here again. Having to totally empty a huge portion of your living area does have a tendency to fill up other areas, ya know.

So there it is...I could say it's not a done deal, I could move the furniture around some more and the windows need more washing which I'll really only notice when the sun comes out again...but I also know me well enough to know some of those things just won't get moved again for 22 years.

Have a fine day all....

Fran - your room looks so cozy and comfortable. I'd be curled up on the couch reading a book with the fire burning - needless to say, I also woldn't move the furniture or wash the windows. Why bother - Carpe diem. : )
Bet it feels good to have it completed.

Oh my god!! It looks fantastic! I would love to spend the day curled up on that loveseat reading a good book (ok, I might doze off just a couple of times). Great job!

:::::::Beaming ear to ear::::::::: thanks all. It's definitely a much more comfortable room now; almost has a cozy feel in spite of the scale of the room. Ahem..I've been known to doze off once or twice, Buzz, as I've been reading my book...
