Laurie wrote to say the painting is done, and her enthusiasm is contagious:
At last all done, place looks fantastic...can't wait for you to see. The staining of the beams upstairs really do (sic) look amazing against the white paint, it's all very clean lines but doesn't effect (sic) the 'old barn look' at all...had a clean through and warned Tom, Brian and Gregg that there would be trouble if they get it dirty 😀 (although Chaz was the worst).
Enjoy the pics.
If poring over pics on the computer and peering at every tiny detail is enjoying the pics, then we have done, Laurie; that's for sure.
And here they are...:
 |
| Re-stained barn doors; original weeds |
 |
| Re-stained oak beam - very dark and bold against the white |
 |
| Clean lines and casseroles |
 |
| New architrave around bathroom door; new teeny fridge |
 |
| No trace of the plaster 'trous' left by Phil when he installed the stairs... |
...and now, going upstairs:
 |
| Smooooth, white wall |
 |
| Love that floor! Rugs ain't bad, either. |
 |
| Can't help wondering how Laurie managed to reach that far corner...:) |
 |
| Spot the sentries |
 |
| Crisp, clean lines... |
 |
| ...and appropriately wiggly ones too. 'Close up' of the sentries. |
And not forgetting the dépendance, which got a lick of thick, white matte paint on the bed platform, ready for the mattress which was delivered last week:
 |
| We think that painting the bed platform white will make the most of the natural light |
 |
| Boogeys-I the first night in the Heidi-hole...:) Now all I need is a couple of goats. |
It's so very hard to be so far away right now; it's sometimes almost too much to bear. But it gives me warm fuzzies to think that a family emissary will be there on Wednesday to enjoy the very particular delights of La Fromagerie.
