I thought I'd write just to touch base since it has been a little while. Things have been going very well lately. I am enjoying work more than I have before, we have decided on a contractor for our bathroom, and it hasn't gotten unbearably hot in Texas yet this summer. Life is good!
Also my oldest is getting married in August and I'm so looking forward to see her again and seeing her getting married to a man she has loved for years.
We have had fun picking out colors, vanity styles, etc., for the bathroom. We are getting sliding barn doors for the closet and bathroom entry. These are doors that roll across a track that is on the outside of the door above the doorway. Anyway we were wanting to find 3 antique doors to use for the doors and I thought it would be easier than it has been. There were a few places we checked in town yesterday and one lady had a few doors but none that were the size we need.
Hubby knows a guy that he thought would have some and he happened to have his business card from years ago when we owned Wood Stock. This guy salvages things as well as gets some props that have been used on movie sets. There are the fake wooden windows that were used for the movie True Grit that we got to see on an outbuilding there. Anyway, there were not as many doors as had hoped they would have. We did see two matching ones but they wanted $200 a piece for them and that was giving us a break. Ouch! They didn't look any better than the doors we saw yesterday at an antique store for $40 a piece. So we passed. It was a nice ride out to the country and we got to see where we used to have Woodstock, but we went ahead and ordered some knotty pine doors at a local store that we will have stress painted by the same gal who did the one in our dining room so we are happy with how we think they'll turn out.
