and the heat that had
been bearing down on us
has finally broken.
Today I was able to turn off the air conditioning
and let the summer breezes
blow through the casements.
My cats are ecstatic!
We are getting ready for the first phase
of remodeling the dining room,
and I have been immersed in images
of rooms that inspire me.
Our room is a long, narrow space.
To avoid its propensity to be cave-like,
we have decided to add a window seat.

The window seat will be about
8 feet long and 30 inches deep;
with windows on all 3 sides
it will be a bump-out from the room.
This will bring in tons more light and fresh air,
provide built-in seating for the table,
and a spot that can be closed off
with curtains to sleep one guest.
It will even have storage underneath
for bulky bedding and assorted linens.

The room will have natural wood floors
and windows with divided lights.
The decor will be simple, natural,
textural, and pale.

French doors dividing the space
from the living room
will bid welcome to dinner guests.

Slipcovered dining chairs and a dramatic
light fixture will surround the antique
pedestal table.
A sisal rug will provide texture underfoot.
Ah, that will be the fun part!
At this point we are just getting started
and there is much yet to be done.
I will keep you all updated as things progress.
Until next time...
Anne
