There are now many ideas we had for the renovation project that we won't be able to afford to implement. So it goes. But I do want to remember some of them for later, in case I do actually get a raise or sell a book or otherwise have an infusion of unexpected cash. One of them is to add details to ceilings -- Gothic curves in the library or dining rom, beadboard in the attic. And designer
Anna Maria Horner just completed an attic workroom renovation that's just lovely, so here's a pic for future inspiration:
So pretty. Lots more great pics at her site, if you follow the link above.
You have just given me a plan for my attic.
Oh, yay! 🙂 It’s gorgeous, isn’t it?
LOVE it. And it LOOKS like my attic shape, so it might actually be possible. I think I might want carpet up there, though, really really fluffy carpet you can throw yourself down on to read a book.
Carpet would be very nice. 🙂 I was surprised that the bare plywood looked as nice as it does when painted, though.
I’ll note that IKEA does sell incredibly cheap high-pile rugs, and I think they have them available in larger sizes. An option?
We’ll have to do something to the floors, as they are just old planks, not the nice kind. IKEA is *always* an option. The rug on our back porch is from there. Almost time to dust the winter off the back porch and start writing out there!
