In the past week, the conservatory (or music room) made substantial progress. Window shades and carpet came and the beloved husband finished his desk. It’s a difficult room to photograph because part of the beauty is the large window in the front but there is not much else to make that shot exciting. Here is a photo of the more active side of the room. It is very bright and sunny and cheerful!
The fourth guitar is on another wall. We need some final touches like artwork on the wall and a new desk chair, then it’s completely done! The fabric covering the top of the leather chair is compliments of Gracie who loves to perch there. I worry about nail punctures so this has worked well. Hallelujah!
Now maybe if I had had a nice room like that my accordion and guitar would be upstairs and being played, as opposed to sitting downstairs gathering dust. It looks comfy and cozy and I’d be nodding off in that comfy chair in the sun. No wonder Gracie likes that chair and dozing in the sunbeams!

We’ve been working on this since we moved in February but a lot of time was tied up in waiting. Waiting for a contractor, waiting for materials, etc.

We are trying to get a contractor to renovate our basement. It’s tough and overpriced. Obviously you were determined and stayed on task! The place looks great! Who is the guitarist in the family?

My husband is the guitarist. He’s really very good. Played in a band in his youth. Contractors are like hen’s teeth. If you find one, you may never hear from them again. I was fortunate to snag the guy who was doing a project across the street. Wisely, I sent my woodworking husband over to talk to him and they became best buddies. He moved our job to the front of the list because he liked him (and it was a good job). We had to wait 2 months for a painter and landscapers have been booked for next spring for quite a while. Everything is overpriced.

I definitely let my engineer husband handle that. He speaks their language and he is more personable. People call me when they have a problem, we call him when we need good relationships. 🤷🏻♀️ Everyone has their strengths!
How awesome that your hubby is a musician! Does he serenade you?

You never know. I don’t like long car trips. My bones really don’t like it.

My bones have been OK on long car trips, but now I get spasms when I try to get out of the car. Sitting for two hours is a killer. I can barely stand up, and when standing, can’t move. It happened the last two times we went to Charlotte. John and David walked in the house, not realizing I didn’t follow. David began to wonder what happened and came out to stay with me until I could walk.

Wow! I’m so sorry! I get stiff but not quite to that effect. We did a trip to visit family a few years back. It was a 3 hour trip but we hit a really bad accident and the return took 8 hours. I thought I was going to die. I got severe pain in my lower back and we couldn’t stop to stretch it out. We haven’t taken a trip like that since. Two hours is my max, then I have to stop and walk around.

A 3-hour trip stretched to 8 would be enough to make anyone swear off car travel. Stopping to walk around is crucial now for you and me.

I was really cranky but it was tempered by the fact that the guy in the accident was killed. We saw the tractor trailer. It was horrendous.

Yes he is happy! The walls were soundproofed so he can play as loud as he likes!

Sound proofing makes it even better because I’m just guessing but his choice to play may not always coincide with your choice to listen. 🙂 Sounds like you both put good planning into the space.
