It's been keeping us busy for the last couple weeks; more work than we expected but well worth it. It was a little tricky because the roof slopes slightly and the tin ceiling needed to be protected. Once the walls were up we debated whether to match the wall texture or match the wallpaper under the chair rail. I had one roll of the Anaglypta paper left over from the original papering job done years ago and it happened to be just enough to finish the new walls... a pain to apply but sure looks good. The paper is made in England, has a raised pattern with an old-timey look (that unfortunately doesn't show in the pictures) and is designed to be painted. It works well with the tin ceiling. Bonus to the project: new color scheme! Blue Agave with Antique White. All the doors need to be painted and then Bob can hang them. The room looks so pretty and fresh it will be a shame to do messy pottery work in it. I'll have to stick with white clay. Anyway, with the closet we can officially call it a studio/office/guest room and I am really happy to have the storage area.
Next project: Another closet/pantry in the house???
I should add that we had a second house showing. A couple from Oatman. Loved it. I doubt they'll be able to come up with the money though. We've decided to get a demolition permit and fill in the pool if we haven't sold before next summer. The pool area would be a good RV parking spot with power and water available -- probably be a better selling feature than the pool.
