More Furniture Finds
More auction finds: a deco side table, a Stein daybed and a wooden rocking chair.
A Trip to the Auction House
Our new great room table and chairs came from an auction house and a closing hardware store.
Stripping Down
Stripping the previous owners’ flaking paint off the great room’s chimney column.
Console Tables
Finding the right console tables for the foyer.
Mirror Mirror
Making a starburst mirror for the foyer from old honeycomb blinds and a 3D printer.
When in doubt, just print it
Two years with our Prusa 3D printer, and all the things we just print when we can’t find them.
Arcadia
A long-winded story about our many doors, and why they’re Arcadia.
The unGreat Room
Panoramas of the great room, just before its transformation began.
Big Glass
Roxy Glass replaces the fogged-up double panes in the great room’s huge downstairs windows.
Revamping and Repotting
New Lechuza trough planters for the original planters by the front door.
Yes, it can get windy
How windy it gets halfway up a mountain, with recordings from the observation deck and the great room.
Closet of Doom
Rebuilding the water-damaged closet off the great room that no one told us about, down to the studs and through the teak floor.
A bit of decor
Two little benches from the craft store give the front foyer a spot to sit down and take off shoes.
The size of things
Recovering from the plague, plus pictures that show just how big the great room is, and a peek at the wine closet.
Small Things and Big Blinds
My giant ceramic Hello Kitty moves in, a broken Great Room blind moves out and the previous owners leave staples and nails across the tops of the windows.
