Now

We widened the entry and that improved the whole room.
This is supposed to be the living room but we use it as the dining room.
A dining room is important to me, because we seldom
(read never)entertain family and friends without a feast.

The door will look much better when I paint it red,
don't you think?
I already have the paint.
I'm just waiting for a day that I can
leave the door open and work
without being too hot.

The main bathroom
looks much better, Yes?

We had our contractor make the shower
with the same tiles that are all
over the entire house.

The shower is big enough that
it doesn't need a door.

The towels are my lovely "Dry Clean Only" purchase.
I didn't notice it till we got them home.
I don't let anyone use them because of that,
which is pretty stupid, if you ask me,
but I do it anyway.
"Don't use those!!
They are just for decoration!!"
(Eye roll)


We replaced the fireplace with this
Cozy Stove.
This small stove puts out so much heat that
sometimes I have to open the door to cool the house down.
Then facing the other way in the same room,
this is what we replaced the particle board shelves with.

This is where we watch TV and movies.

The dining room, kitchen TV room and what was once the designated dining room (I use it as my garden room and it is a great room to sit in and read) are all actually one huge room sort of divided by a partition that houses my fridge and service counter.
(coffee, toaster, micro, liquor cabinet, etc)




It is a work in progress but it's looking better.
