On Being Old--14 "D" Day plus Three Weeks

Once again the visual changes to the room are not dramatic, but I must say it is beginning to look like a room. The dry wall guys did their magic by putting the second layer of patching compound and sanding the walls smooth. Dust is everywhere…the tables…the chairs…the plates…our mouths…


Mark and his wife, Dianne, descended on us with color charts and ideas. Rosemary took the lead because she has the eye. So we selected the colors for the kitchen, foyer, living room, and the kitchen windows. Yet more decisions.

We popped out of our cocoon. The plastic covering all the openings has been removed. The painters put a prime coat on all the walls and the ceiling. What a transformation with only a little color.



The flooring guys finished the installation of the hard wood floors, and it looks terrific.  Next comes the staining and sealing.  We try some patches of different colored stains, and reach another decision point.
By the end of next week, if all goes well we’ll have our cabinets installed. Really starting to get exciting.


Ciao
