Looking inside. . .

Taking a look inside means something different to everyone but as we look to sell our house inside definitely means.... inside... our house. This room is completion of a visualization that I had for years both in my mind and on paper. The window seats that line the window wall was something that both of us decided would be the perfect setting with the wall of nature on the "outside". The window seat wall and book shelves were custom made by a local cabinet maker, Ken Wheeler. Ken actually did almost all the work on our cabinetry including the built in drawers in the bedroom and the vanity in the master bath and all
of custom cabinets in the kitchen and utility room. We designed
the fireplace surround and
Ken built that for us as well. Now that I think of it we have a huge amount of custom cabinetry in this house. He also built custom
closet doors in the master to match the style of the window seats.
I love those drawers in that room. They are so big that you don't
need a dresser or a linen closet. It holds everything including
some of "extra" fabrics.The French doors lead from the bedroom
into the master bath and another wall of windows to the
outdoors adjacent to the Porcher Whirlpool tub. Skylights
light the room during the day and the ceiling fan brings in
cool breezes at night. Isn't it wonderful? That heated tile
floor is awesome in the winter. With all that said, why am I moving?
Yes, everything in the house is done really really well with the best
craftsmanship. That goes for the outside as well, but sometimes one
just needs a change. Not sure what that means but for me it means
a change of place, a change of scenes and possibly a studio. Although our
upstairs is huge with 3 bedrooms, I can't quite bring myself to make that
area "my space". Paul has done a good job of claiming most of it
and that's just fine for me. His space is filled with what he loves to do,
it works well for him.
For now I am here, but looking to make some changes although it does not mean leaving or abandoning Random Arts. A little insurance for all you might help alleviate that concern, and that is the inside information that we are creating & designing our new T-Shirts and aprons. It looks like the mid August should be the release. Check back with us for a little look at what we have done.
