It seems a shame to let the start of the living room project #2 pass with no more than the sound of shattering glass.
Ex-lam-in-ate!
This is the end wall of the living room, new fireplace feature shelf to be glimpsed on the left. We inherited a solid wood door and a glass screen in the most hideous (to our eyes) embossed laminated glass. It was doomed from the first day we saw it and today was demolition day. It’ll be replaced with a glazed door and the screen glass will be replaced with clear. Leastways, I think it’ll be clear. My vote is for clear.
This picture also serves to explain something of the geography of the house. Graham is standing in the hall, with the glazed front door to his left. Behind him is the short stairway (six steps) leading to the upper floor with its three bedrooms and family bathroom. Behind him and to his right is the doorway to a large walk-in storage cupboard and, further along from that but out of the picture is the doorway into the downstairs cloakroom. Further along again is the doorway to the kitchen. The flooring is cork, installed shortly after we moved in; the same cork is to be used in the living room when it’s all done.
