My Big Summer Project!

* * * * *

After gutting the down stairs right down to the studs. 

New insulation, drywall, tape texture paint, track lighting,

tile 1/2 way up the walls,

slate floor so the dogs don't slip....  It's almost done!

I'm jumping the gun...  What else is new.

I couldn't wait to start putting the room back together and decorating for Christmas...

But here's what I've been working on folks :-)


Ended up going with a great raised slate table and high chairs. 

It's all patio furniture so when it's dirty I can take it outside and hose it off. 

I just need to put the shutters back over the swamp cooler.


Halo just wants to help!
