It's now raining and 55 out! The snow is just about gone.
A new project! As close to round as can be! It's from the yarn cakes.
I decided that it's time to redo the sewing room! When we moved here 30+ years ago, it was Manda's room, so of course there were posters all over, and stars on the ceiling, which pulled off the paint when removed. Old, old carpet. Paneling halfway up, wallpaper the rest of the way.
So we called our handyman, a friend of our neighbor. He shocked up when he said he could start the next day, which was yesterday. A scramble to empty bookcases, and spread miscellaneous stuff all over the house.
Ralph rigged a cover for the fabric until we could get totes.
Handyman is removing the paneling, which as it turns out, was glued on. Of course it was. To take the wallpaper off would be time consuming, and would damage the sheetrock, so he's putting thin sheet rock over top, which is what we did in Mom's kitchen. He'll remove the rug, fix the ceiling, sheetrock where needed, paint the whole thing, and add closet doors and a new door to the exercise room. It will look awesome!
The paint color I picked out. I think a neutral gray for the new carpet. And changing out the brown baseboard trim for white.
And then to do a lot of sorting as I put things back!
