More progress

Finally, the huge island has been cut down to size!  Now, the granite countertop is yet to be installed, but it really does look better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, with that problem under control, we turned to other projects. Interior Designer Melinda Dickey (a woman of admirable patience as well as practical creativity) helped me visualize furniture placement again. The placement of the island dictated a bit of tweaking in the den.

 

 

Can you envision the new sofa (back against the sliding glass door) and the new chair (back to the camera)? The tape measures really help.

 

 

Here's one of those things that you run across in home renovation. The screening on the porch was fine. Just fine. Then, suddenly there was a hole in one of the screens near the door. Boo.  I was hoping that the hole could just be patched, but it would cost almost as much money to patch it as to re-screen the whole thing. So, now, instead of a screened porch, I have an open-air porch!  (Temporarily.)

 

 

 

I'll have some more photos in a few days.  Thanks for following along with me!  Love, Carolyn
