it's beginning to look somewhat like something

At last, some "after" photos:














Above is the sunroom in early spring, before we'd closed on the house.


















Here it is as of today, carpet and curtains removed, and freshly painted. The color is "fig" (Pratt & Lambert) aka "leapfrog" (Behr), though "the color of certain bugs when smashed" and "yellow bile" might be more apt. Alas, they didn't ask me. It may not come across on the computer just right -- it looks slightly off on all 3 of our monitors. In reality, though, it's really wonderful.

Visible in the backyard -- Adironack chairs and a fire bowl. We had a roaring little fire last night, thanks to Ted's Boy Scout training and all the brush we've cleared in the last few days.














Ted's office before. This has been the easiest room to prepare thus far. The Senders (or whichever previous tenant) went lightly on the wallpaper paste. For a family whose motto went something along the lines of "that oughta hold it," this was an uncharacteristic but welcome move.














Ted's brown study, his "Bison Brown" study.




































The upstairs bath "Bejeweled" in green. Just one of the many nonsensical color names we're working with.
