Lights!

No work happened on Thursday or Friday because of the low temps.  I just checked the 10 day forecast and it's looking like high 20s to high 30s every day.  A couple of the days show snow, but nothing significant.  Thank goodness!  I'm getting nervous with the insides of the house being exposed to elements for so long.  HOPEFULLY the 2nd floor joists will get installed early this week now that the weather is cooperating.

The luxury of daylight on the weekend allowed us a few more pictures.

Back of the house, you can see the back door on the right of the photo.  The adjacent wall should have a window framed in it - hopefully that will be fixed soon.

View out of the big back window.  The 2x4 is not part of our plan.

The powder room - it's a bathroom.  Powder is optional.

View from the back of the house to the front.  You can sort of see the framed opening between the living and
dining/kitchen area.

Other stuff - Dining Room Chandelier
Craigslist is just not delivering on a few items.  The dining room chandelier is one of those items.  We really like drum shade chandeliers.  Room & Board has some great print ones, but they run about $500 for the largest sizes.  I found a designer on Etsy (JesseLeeDesigns) who custom makes the entire fixtures with your own fabric.  She suggests a site called spoonflower.com to chose your fabric, we have decided to go with a large scale, bold tangerine print.  It was a toss up between lime green and tangerine.  Stay tuned for lime green elsewhere.
