O HAI GUISE! I finally got all the laundry folded and the tape down to get a picture!
EDITED for More Photos

You remember the Rumpus Room Before:
Rumpus Room Before

Rumpus Room Before

And After!


Rumpus Room After

I cleaned the carpet, re-arranged the sofa, bought new throw pillows, primed and painted all the wood paneling blue, painted all the yellow and dishwater walls a shiny cream, installed round paper lanterns over the bright can lights, and added some of my art. John built the light blue media shelves and framed in the glass brick wall.

John framed in the window, I painted it. Yes, I need to fill that hole in the wall.

Oo! It's gorgeous! Looks like it'd actually be a lovely place to, y'know, hang out.

Thanks!

I KNOW! WE WILL!
It'll be so nice in the summer when the rest of the house is hot.


You can see why there was 2 weeks of yelling, "DON'T TOUCH THE WALLS!!" 2 layers of primer and 2 layers of paint, then trim, then touch ups takes awhile :)

Worth every bit of those two weeks, methinks. :)

I would have do it while Mark was here, but he would not let me. He LOVED the wood paneling as it was.
And we were already arguing about enough.

Playing bridge in Florida, this last week. Before that, going half mad at work, but that's more or less behind us now.

Shall we try again for this whole dinner thing? Pick a date, we're pretty flexible, and I promise to put it in my damn calendar this time.

And I still have a hard drive full of stuff I recovered from your old computer, too.

Busy is a good thing!
Yes, now that you have more time. I'll call you soon.

And I do need a bunch of that information, so that would be great.

Fire extinguisher #1 is in the pantry behind the light blue door in the last picture. Fire extinguisher #2 is in the closet to the far right in the first picture. That's just for the downstairs, of course.

So, is that downstairs door the "back door"? Just want to make sure I use the correct entrance next time I visit.

Love,
Your Hippie Friend, B.

You've always been a back door man.

All it needs is a few bean bag chairs!

And maybe a hookah. ;)
