Beautiful Leasa! I love the Alpha Sprout paint choice, and that bay view is calling to me! Love the garden too. You and Mike have done a GREAT JOB!!! Congrats and I hope you have many years of enjoyment together in your lovely home when it is finely finished! Can't wait to see more! :-) Becky

Oh, Leasa, that is just beautiful. Sigh. My favorite color on the walls too. The architecture of the windows is wonderful. Congratulations! You're heading into the home stretch. Keep up the great work.

Simply amazing!!!
Makes me realize that ANYTHING is possible
if you have the determination to keep at it one small bit at a time.
Thanks for the inspirational tour!

Fabulous job !! I love the architecture also and the wonderful soft green. And that view...he won't get a lot of studying done...gazing out into that wonderful garden LOL. c

What a transformation, you guys are doing one fantastic job on bringing back this grand old lady.

c....It would still be a study, he would be studying the view.

Y'all have done great. That is such a pretty green. Is it a historical color, or just one you like?

Leasa, that is amazing!!!!! I love the color. And those floors- look at how they shine! Oh my gosh you have been busy. Your house is going to look simply amazing when you're finished.

It looks just great, Leasa! You and Mike have done a bang-up job there. That has to be encouraging for you both.

Amen to what everyone said. It looks GREAT!!!!

LOVE the architecture. Why don't they build like that anymore? It's a lost craft.

Yay Leasa,

What a gorgeous room. It looks so crisp and clean. Are you sure it's Mike's study???? Wonderful views too. "It's Homeric." to quote Michaeline Flynn in the Quiet Man!!!!! One miracle down...to go.

THANK YOU EVERYONE! For all the comments and encouragement!

We've been at it every day! I think the Adventure Room will be done next, followed by my studio! Oh, maybe the driveway will be the next item finished, we've been working on a bit of each. you know, work on one thing till you get sick of it or that body part aches and move to another spot that needs attention.

Here is a peek of the Adventure Room. It is a beautiful shade of green called Green Tea. It makes the Oak fireplace and book case POP! Ant the ratty maple floor looks pretty good!

This room was grubby and a dark, dark brown. The Country White wood work really adds to the look. When the carpenters are there, they are going to add a piece of moulding to match the windows and doors on top of the mop board. I forgot to mention the mop boards in the Study are all one piece. It is curvy and really neat, I was shocked that it is just one piece and not a couple.

Oh, I can not wait for tomorrow, I really think we can finish up the room. We spent the afternoon digging out the dirt from between the rock wall and the West end of the barn. We suspected a fox lives under there from the poo under the trees and the well worn path, well today he jumped the poo out of us! He high-tailed it to points South! Wish I had my camera! The dirt has filled in where it should not be so we dug and dug--Mike found two cool bottles, me I found cultch! Then we raked the sand to level it in the driveway--making it a 4 car driveway instead of 2.....Oh, I think I need a bowl of ice cream!

Leasa Thanks again for peeking!
