Back Entry - Completed

After nearly a three month wait...we finally have the back stairs carpeted!  The installer did an amazing job...using a good quality, very soft under pad...makes the steps very cushioned on the feet.  Not a great angle to photograph...a tight area for sure...and what you see on the walls is shadowing..

With left over carpet, Mr. Seventies cut one large enough to protect the floor tiles...and I placed another smaller rug on top.  This photo was taken from the kitchen looking into the entry.  We have the boot tray set up downstairs...somewhere to put wet footwear.  Everything is finished....the base mouldings, door casings have been installed & painted...and the hand rail reattached.  

2021 was certainly a busy year refreshing this seventies split!  Looking back at a quick recap...at the end of 2020 was the construction of the new storage barn along with new gutters and instal of the new counter cooktop.  We replaced every piece of interior moulding and all door casings...added decorative moulding to interior doors, filled & painted all the new wood work...and each room painted!  New lighting in all rooms..with the exception of the kitchen. And new tile flooring & carpet in the back entry...

While we waiting for the carpet to arrive...we turned our attention to the outside...painted both front & back exterior doors, shutters and window boxes.  Both decks and front steps were given a couple of coats of fresh stain as well.  One item left to do is replace the shower door in the lower level bath/laundry room.  The same gentleman who installed the shower door in the main bath is going to be doing that. I presume the door will need to be ordered.  I'd say we've had a productive year!  Not to mention a couple of jobs at daughter's home...their exterior retaining wall needed repair..Mr. Seventies to the rescue there.

My adorable Scentsy tart burner arrived..."All Wrapped Up".... if you remember I purchased it from a seller on Poshmark...

Very happy it arrived in time for me to use it this year..

The seller was sweet to include a couple of fall scented tarts...they smell amazing...

And I'm very excited to be attending a Christmas Decorating & Trends show in November!  This is a yearly event sponsored by a local interior designer...and was cancelled last year due to Covid.  With safety restrictions in place..it has been given the green light to be held!  My friend and our daughters will make it an evening out...dining out for supper...then take in the event!!  

Today is forecast to be a decent day to harness Liesel up and hit the walking trail!  Hope you have an awesome day!!
