The studio is ready for work, and I wanted to get in there and do something. I had some backing fabrics, so I got a couple of them ready. I bought this Philip Jacobs print for the back of the pastel Macnas quilt. It was yardage, so I had to iron it all, and then seam two pieces together for the backing. So I did that.
I -also- got the Office all set, I put all the books back in the bookcase, and organized the furniture and the desk, so that room is ready for use. One of the things that has always bothered me about that room is the sliding doors on the big closet. One of the sliding doors kept jamming, and I was always afraid of it because there was a mirror adhered to the door. It was loose, and I was always worried that if I pushed too hard the mirror would fall off and break and cut me badly. I wanted the guys to fix the door issue, and they removed the mirror without breaking it. They'll come back next week and rehang the doors after we paint them. The wallpaper is peeling off the front wall, so the plan is to remove that and paint that one wall. There's no real reason to paint the whole room. I'll be happy with the room after that.
Then I moved to the bathroom and gave it a good clean. The base of the spa tub was covered in carpet, which also hid any access to the plumbing, which was not good because the faucet leaks, making the tub hard to use. We can't cover that base with flooring, so we have to come up with another solution. The guys have an idea of a material to use, and I've left that decision to them.
After all this the only thing left to do will be to replace the carpet in my bedroom and living room.
It was amazing how much work it was to get the rest of the house clean after moving all the stuff back into the appropriate rooms. I'm tired, but happy the house is back to normal.
