Our home is so much "Us" that we don't have many big projects to tackle.
`
"Down the Road" we will have a huge project on our Terrace. We want to enclose the space with a brick wall about 4 feet high that will match the brick on the house. We will keep the shade. and drop it down to the top of the brick wall. We will then have a very private area that will enhance the Great Room's view.
The other "big" purchase down the road, will be a larger TV. We have to have the TV over the fireplace and the present one is way too small to have such a place of honor, not to mention old eyes seeing it all that well!
Other than that, we would like to replace the lighting in the Foyer and the Baths. To be honest I haven't run across any that have said "Buy Me!"
I went around and snapped some pictures so you can see what has moved, etc. Yes, I have moved a few things, NOT MANY! The main piece I wanted to incorporate into the house was the dining table MC made for our first home in Sun City.. It was the 30" x 8' foot door he turned into a fabulous table! I couldn't find a place for it until yesterday! With GREAT persuasion and a lot of hard lifting, MC and I got it from the garage into the Master Bedroom. Only problem we had to turn it's on it's side to get it through the door into the bedroom. So there we were with this HEAVY table to flip! MC was sure the legs would crack and break and we were resolved to have to leave it, on it's side. back in the garage!!!! I asked if he couldn't make some sort of a "brace". He thought about it for a few minutes, AND THE GENIUS HE IS, added two strips of wood to brace it. Once nailed in, we were able to flip it....AMAZING!

Perfect location for old Dining Room table.
Look close, you can see the brace MC built! He has not removed them.
He's waiting for a number of "Morning" Tests

That's about where we are today, June 5th. One of the changes that made a statement, was switching the BIRD panels with the large black and white piece Erica did. Much better placement for both of these!
MC is working on a new Little MC......to be continued......
