Bill worked his little tail off to surprise me with the next step of the pantry being done. He thinks it's okay to stop with a spotted room. Wants to add the shelving and call it done.
Can't add the ceiling until we know for sure the garage roof leaks are fixed. There is one little leak right above this room. He says I have a very special pantry with lots of natural light coming in from the big garage window. It was so funny; he kept trying to keep me away until he had covered all the drywall screws. He wanted one thing done before I saw the room. Now to find the time to do all the taping and mudding then texturing, then base and case, then door, then painting, then putting the shelves and cabinet in, then hanging the light, then the room will be finished for now.
The flooring will come much later. It will be done when we do the rest of the house. Want to be sure it will match what is in the kitchen.
I can get so many boxes unpacked when this room is done. It is the food pantry and the Butler Pantry. Every kitchen and serving dish box will be unpacked and I can get to my stuff. This is the stuff I love to use. I use the good dishes even when it is just us sometimes. When the girls were young and had friends over we would eat in the dining room. We would use the good dishes so show them we respected them and their friends and thought it was a special evening. Why have something and not use it?
