And the office adventure continues (1-28-06)

Okay....the dramatic daily changes of the first few days have now slowed down to dusty ... dragging .... damnable moments. Hanging drywall, taping, mudding...it all adds up to a lot of time without a lot of that immediate satisfaction we enjoyed early on. But it's all got to be done! So we spend our days trying to remember that it will all be worthwhile in the end.....and to wipe our feet when we go upstairs!

Here are the latest pics for your viewing pleasure!

Here's the view from the top of the stairs. This shot shows the new wall and how it separates my office from Arrow's room... The view from Arrow's room into my office and the foyer area... (stairwell is to the immediate left)

The view of the picture window in my office....

The veiw back towards the stairwell from the picture window...

A look at where my desk WILL set, as seen from the new foyer... Now this may be a little hard for you to envision, but this is my storage closet. For those of you very familiar with the layout before, the little nook on the right was a storage closet built in under the floor of the entry closet upstairs. We couldn't eliminate that, so we opened up the bottom and created an area where I can store office supplies and all those wonderful totes I love to fill up (as well as our guests' coats). When you come through the basement door, it's direclty in front of you in the foyer (with a door, of course). It'll make more sense when there are lights and you can actually see stuff in there... And, once again we return to view the exit from this mess...the stairwell!
