I must post more often here - the laundry room is done and glorious. At least nice. And someday I will move all the stuff piled in the garage back into the room. Maybe. Some of it.
But in larger news, we are adding on the West Wing! J has wanted to do this from when he moved in (15 years ago). It will be a larger living room with somewhat vaulted ceiling (not a big peak, but higher than our other ceilings). Also there will be a "bedroom" and office below the LR. Best of all the entryway will be pushed out 4 feet and a new door will open onto the fabulous new front porch! I think it will look great, always wanted a porch and bigger entry. And there will be steps up to the new deck which will be outside the LR, and connect to the rest of the wrap around deck on the back of the house. So exciting, and I think the contractor is a good guy.
