Progress has been made. Real, measurable progress. As a teaser, may I present a Before and After of the overview photo of the Writing Room. I'm not quite ready to post the detail pics yet, but the overview? Yes. I'm ready to share. I'm eager to share.
Before. It was a bit scary actually. More than a bit. Especially when one considers that it used to be worse. This is what the Writing Room looked like when we began this 8 Week Adventure. (Click all pics to enlarge. It's much more impressive that way!)
Then... ... ... it got worse. As things got shifted out of other rooms, they came to rest in the Writing Room, only temporarily, thank goodness.
It took some doing, and some realizing that I couldn't finish sorting everything before putting things away in the Storage Room, but the Writing Room is 95% complete now. Only a few finishing touches stand between us at this moment, and the moment when I'm able to unveil the details of the transformation. In the meantime, here's a glimpse of the revised edition of the Writing Room:
Notice any difference?
Thought you might.
By the end of this week, which I have dubbed for my own Hybrid Cure, Week 8.2, I will be able to post all the pictures of the Writing Room.
But wait! There's more!
I have figured out how to do the rearrangement of the Living Room while still storing the rocking chair and bookcase/china cabinet until they go to their new home. So that transformation will be revealed at the end of Week 8.2 as well.
Do you have any idea how good this feels?
Oh, wow. Amazing! This is a totally different room now.
ReplyDeleteThe dayspread is so happy looking. I like it.
ooh ooh- can't wait for more details!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! Love the slipcover you are using on the hospital bed--really looks like a cozy, comfy couch!
ReplyDeletewhat a difference! good job and I bet it feels just so much better for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, all!!! I love it, too! More details to come, as soon as the old computer leaves the building, and the last adjustments are made to the corner of the room where it was... (sometime this week).
ReplyDeleteIs the hospital bed staying? It has totally earned a place to stay with that gorgeous cover, but I wonder if it is staying, if the bars could n't be removed--and put into that storage room of yours!
ReplyDeleteAnd I was wondering, does the keyboard in the bookcase mean you don't have your piano anymore?
This is just fantastic. I'm so thrilled for you. Can't wait for the big reveal.
Thanks, Alana!
ReplyDeleteHospital bed -- There's so much other stuff in the storage room, even when neatly organized, that there'd be no room for the hospital bed. (Also, it was such a pain in the neck getting it into this room that I hate to think of having to move it!) Some day I'll be getting a guy to come out from the MediChair place to get the mechanism set up properly, so that the head and foot of the bed can be lifted the way they're supposed to be (electrically), and I'll see if he can remove the bed rail at the front.
The keyboard was Mum's. There was no room for my piano in this apartment, so it is in the residents' Lounge downstairs, on long-term loan to the Tenants' Association (with the understanding that if I move, it moves with me). I have access to it, as do all the other residents of the building. It's kind of having my cake and eating it, too.
Thanks again!
Oh. You meant that the bars could be put in the storage room (or just slid under the bed). Yes, if the technician guy can remove the bar on the front, it will be removed, so that the bed can look more like a couch. And, if I ever have guests, they'll use my bed and I'll use the hosp. bed, and I'd just as soon not be whacking into that metal railing!
