A Room of One's Own

I had big dreams for our spare bedroom on the first floor. 

Things didn't quite work out as planned.

I wonder what Virginia Woolf would think of me.  If I had a library in my house, I could tell you.

  1. You did tell Joe the other day at my house what you really wanted was a mudroom. If the guy your SIL gave you doesn't work out, I do have an Irish carpenter on speed dial.

    MOV

    ps-- I call the garage "the studio" with the hopes that it will one day be transformed into such. Of course I will be 92 years old and unable to hold a paintbrush or cut mosaic tiles by the time that dream materializes...

  3. Carlotta - Lucy gave me his number! Once I get the first estimate, I'll call your guy, too. My future brother-in-law also gave me a number. We're in Beverly - everybody has "got a guy." Beautiful!

    MOV - Still. We need to dream. Or we'd succumb to the entire box of Ding Dongs daily.
