staircase renovation...creating open living space

Remember this scene…my living room a construction zone as I tackled our staircase renovation?
Well, here’s the update!

I couldn’t get a good picture from the same angle as in the construction picture with the furniture rearranged (so many times since then!) now that the piano blocks that view.

Buddha finally found a home on thisledge, holding the incense from Madeline, gives my heart a little joy every time I go downstairs.

Doug salvaged this timber from our barn to use for the handrail…I love that it’s wide enough to use as a shelf.

I love the connection this provides between the upper and lower living areas – perfect for the flow of our activities.

I still need to complete the railing…I’m just not quite completely sure about the solution – definitely a horizontal type rail or wire, but still searching for the perfect inspiration…so more to come (once I find time between the new projects I’ve started…just tore down the wall between the kitchen and laundry room!).

have a beautiful week

downstairs redesign

I’m completely flummoxed by our downstairs layout and features. I feel like I’m going to go crazy trying to figure out the best layout to best use the current elements AND create a beautiful space.

beautiful imperfections

The rough edges of the bureau draw me closer. The ruts and worn edges under my fingertips are like the groves of a record, replaying our precious stories. Memories flood around me, mixing joy and aching nostalgia… little feet pattering down the hall soft rosy cheeks snuggled against teddies Laughter and warm embraces, music and dancing feet. …passing time. My fingers linger on the imperfections as I savor the precious memories… our life and love resonating in these marks, our history inscribed…our beautiful life… beautiful imperfections have a beautiful week xo shelley
