Hello Fellow Stampers ~
So sorry to be away so long! It's been a crazy past couple of weeks; and a stressful past weekend, which I am very glad is over!!!
And the "lower level" remodel has come to a complete halt! Which has us very stressed out and upset right now.
Anyway - it's been awhile since my last true update on the new DDS Studio and remodel of the lower level; and some good things have happened ~ and some not so good!!
First and foremost, I'm pleased to announce that we really do have "walls" !!! All the drywalling and texturing is complete! It is quite something to see the exact footprint now in place of our new space!
I can tell you, if you've never been through this before, that drywalling is a VERY messy job!! And the house may never recover!! LOL
These pics are before the clean up and texturing - but I wanted to share little bit of the past several weeks with you.
We have a real live powder room folks!!
Looking from the TV room toward the Studio area
From the center of the studio area looking toward the inset for the work area - this will be the one side of all the cabinets, desk, storage drawers, etc.
From across the Studio to the area that will house my sewing table and cutting table.
Note that the pole in the center will anchor the new work island where I will hold all my classes.
To the right in the picture you see the doorway to the "back area" which is where Mike's work table, access to the furnace, and our back storage area is.
And the 2nd door leads into the new powder room.
And the powder room - which I'm really excited about!!
You are gonna LOVE the vintage pedestal sink and matching toilet we purchased!!
So, you ask, weren't you supposed to have the beautiful new Acacia engineered wood flooring installed by now, and cabinets going in this week? Why yes, I say; wouldn't that have been nice!!
Hah!
So, we are now officially 3 weeks behind schedule!
Last week we were informed by the contractor that the subfloor, which has to be installed before the regular flooring goes in, had been "lost"!!! Yes, you read that right! Lost!! Don't ask me! I have no clue how you "lose" a subfloor.
Soooooo ~ the order was cancelled, money refunded, and the subfloor re-ordered!
However, as you can see in the picture above - the cabinets all arrived last Friday and how there they sit in the TV room area waiting for something magical to happen ~ don't ask me what that is going to be!! Sigh
I'm trying to laugh - but we're not laughing very much over here right now! This has put us seriously behind on all levels; and in the meantime, most of the DDS Studio is sitting in boxes around the house; and the townhome is getting ready to be put up for sale!
So wish us luck!!! LOL I'm hoping for something good to happen this week, and a more positive report to bring you next week!! In the meantime, I "camp-out studioing" in the formal dining room -- LOL I'm living in chaos and it's driving me nuts!! I don't create well in chaos. How about you?? So with some gargantuan effort, I hope to start sharing new goodies with you soon! Stay tuned!
Hugs, . . .
