A general house update is looooong overdue. Here's the latest. For the better part of the 6 month sof Willa's life, she has spent it during the days on our 3rd floor. Little by little the gross negligence of previous owners of the house got to us until finally we decided we would "fix" it like we did the basement and first floor. That fix consists of ripping out damaged areas in the ceiling, closet, walls and of course the entire floor. The existing hardwood flooring was badly damaged from leaks as well as sloppy paint jobs and other miscellaneous unidientified things. Earlier this week (11/5 and 11/6), the demolition finally began.
The flooring material we chose is Kempas - the same material used on the first floor. Once complete, we have decided to make the 3rd floor our master bedroom and then repurpose our current bedroom as a playroom/family room/den/media room type of thing. That would give us the ability to reserve the basement den as a more public space and maintain a lower level of clutter. Maybe in this den/family room/etc I will have a place to have my Eames Lounge Chair (Links: Herman Miller Product Page, Wikipedia Entry, Buy it here!!! )
Anyway, the point is we're making progress. It feels like a snail's pace, but it is progress nonetheless.
