“I told you so”
Mom’s love to say “I told you so” and lucky me, I get to own that saying today. It all stems from this wonderful open loft area at my daughter’s house
When we were doing the renovation at my daughter’s house back in September, I told her that she might want to take out the railing and do a full wall for safety reasons when she has children. But she said no, that she really liked the openness of the way it looked. “It is fine” she said. I knew that this was not a kid friendly design. But they are newlyweds so it wasn’t a priority to be “kid friendly”
Made me so nervous just even imagining little ones stepping up on the ledge and looking over down into the living room. {by the way, that rug got moved down to the dining room area to match the rug under the couch}
We were slowing working on making this room her office. Since we already had the Ikea chair, we just bought a new slip cover for it, and added the ottoman.
We scoured Craig’s list to find the perfect bookcase to match the desk she had in there.
Hauling all that heavy furniture up the stairs was not easy. But the room was coming together nicely. We purchased fabric to make pillows and curtains for the window. But guess what I did yesterday? I went over to their house to let the contractor in to do this
