Lord Dudley Mountcatten is not happy with the constant remodeling noise, but his curiosity gene is strong enough to warrant a quick exploration of the project when my husband takes a break.

Checking out the missing siding.
.
.
Walking balance beam.
.
.
Attacking a clamp.
.
.
And looking in the window he usually looks out are all on the menu.
.
.
As is using the new pea gravel for a litter box.
Though we probably won’t share that part with my husband.
😉
.
.
The horrible old carpet was gone, the lush new carpet was laid… and then it was time for the (not so) fun part.
Putting everything that we’d moved out back in.
.
.
It’s no wonder people rarely change their flooring.
.
.
It really is like moving.
.
.
And I don’t know anyone who enjoys that.
.
.
My husband and a friend moved all the major pieces.
.
.
Slowly, carefully… and thankfully without mishap.
.
.
And once our bed was put back together..
.
.
And the doors reattached, I got busy with everything else.
.
.
Now that’s more like it.
😊
.
.
Now that I’ve filled the new hutch and dressed the new table, some proper pictures.
The before…
.
.
The after…
.
.
If you’re a wood lover like us, you’d love this table.
.
.
The grain swirls are marvelous.
.
.
.
I have to admit the custom made Amish hutch turned out a lot darker than I hoped.
.
.
And since the new floor is also darker than I thought it would be…
.
.
I believe a bright new rug is in our future.
Did you notice my prominent placement of the family silver?
.
.
This is going to be an utter nightmare to dust and keep polished, so place your bets on how long I can ( or want ) to keep this look.
The before…
.
.
The after…
.
.
Ceiling, beam, floor, baseboard moulding, back door and dining room furniture replaced… and to think it only took 7 months.
🥴
We’re waiting on the living room furniture delivery now. They promised 6-7 weeks but you know how that goes…

River's world.....
