The work on the house is now at snail pace speed. Not because it is almost done, but because there are other things that are higher on the must get done list. Sun Daze (the boat) is currently in the yard at the marina getting some much needed TLC, so therefore the captain is busy with her and until Sun Daze gets back in the water, I am afraid I will not get our master bathroom completed. That's okay though...the boat needs some love too, and we want to be able to use her soon.
So no new updates on the bathroom. We did however find a beautiful dining room set. We have looking for some time and found a table and chairs we really liked at one of the furniture stores, but neither the captain or myself wanted to pay that much for a dining set. It was however beautifully crafted by Amish craftsmen and worth every cent, just not what we were willing to pay. So we set about looking for our "perfect" dining set at other places...in our free time. I kept a lookout on Craigslist, at flea markets, thrift stores, etc. And we found one. Just what we wanted and at a great price.
The table expands with added leaf to accommodate eight chairs (which all eight were included) plus the seller wanted to get rid of a small sideboard. We didn't need a sideboard, but it was such a lovely piece, we opted to keep it.
The question then was...where do we put it? The only space that seemed logical was already occupied by the piece of furniture I had made for us a while back, in our middle room that we refer to as our hallway. The pic below was during the holidays.
So we moved that smaller table and placed the sideboard there. Then we put our little barn wood table in the living room.
Fits nicely in that corner of the room. I think we are now done with furnishing the house. We need some personal touches, but that will come with time.
Other than finishing the master bathroom, and some second coats of paint in a few places...the inside is done.
I will make a video soon to show the progression of this project (once the bath is completed).
Then it will be time to get to work on finishing the outside...deck, patio, porch, exterior lighting, landscaping, fencing....what were we thinking? 😄
Until next time...
Enjoy
