Dear Family & Friends,
I was going to post the new pictures of the stone and realized I had not posted this one yet. So, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see the stone. Today we will look at the trim and the master closet.
This is the bookcase Larry made for the quilting room. It fills in a "dead"
space above the fireplace (which is on the other side of this wall). We have
the shelves at the apartment and they will go in after the walls are painted.
The "trim guy" has put the trim around the windows and the floor . . .
The master closet . . . baskets will go on these shelves.
The rods on each side are for longer garments and garment bags . . .
The two rods on the back are for Larry's shirts and my blouses . . .
The builder told me today (Friday) that he told them to stain the rods
instead of painting them. He said the stained rods do not get
scratched up as easily as the painted ones.
Trim has been placed around the bookshelf in the quilt room . . .
This is the double door on the 8 ft. x 3 ft. closet in the quilt room.
It has no rods or shelves because it will be designed to hold
quilting supplies and fabric. Larry and I have kicked around a few
ideas; now we need to sit down and put the design to paper. We're
thinking there will be shelves (U-shaped) around the walls.
I have a sewing cabinet which Larry and his dad made me 30
years ago in Beaumont. It has drawers which are sectioned to
hold patterns, another holds threads, and several others hold
miscellaneous items. When I need to make the quilting room
into a bedroom, I will simply roll my cabinet into the center
of the closet. The wall opposite this closet is where the
Murphy's bed will be.
I haven't determined yet where the guests who use this room will
put their "hanging" clothes - perhaps in the hall/entry closet . . .
Oh, we also need to make luggage racks for both these rooms.
I'll show you at the end of the blog what they look like.
This is the trim at the back of the garage. The door goes into the hall
between the dining room and the utility room. Our bedroom is at the
end of the hall. The opening on the right is where the tankless water
heater and the water softener will go. Later, Larry will install doors.
These are the luggage racks I was referring to. Larry made the
wooden part, I made the quilted straps, and Larry put them together.
This was Martha's (Larry's mom) . . .
This was Genevieve's (Larry's aunt) . . .
This was Erin's (our daughter) . . .
Nope . . . we didn't get ours made. However, when we get moved, and
Larry gets his workshop built, we'll work on luggage racks for our
bedrooms.
Time to move on the next item on my "to do" list . . .
Tomorrow, the STONE!
Joye
