Re: [A/S] New Remodeling pictures and question



It has an adjustable shelf, which I am likely to use for a DVD player 
or something similar, so a drawer simply would not fit.

Got that covered as well.  Between the refridgerator and the bathroom 
wall is the world's narrowest closet.  Ripley's has been after me to 
put it in their museum, but I thought someday I would find a use - 
and a couple of table leaves would be perfect.  There is also the 
space between the table and the wall - about four inches.


> The couch is gorgeous,... who did the reupholstery?

A little old lady my mother knows.  Getting the fabric was a major 
challenge.  I wanted a tapestry that is durable, light in color to 
brighten the place up, would not show dirt (now THERE'S a 
combination!), and yet not cause a sharp intake of breath the first 
time one saw it.  I am embarrassed to admit that is 8 and a half 
yards at $35 per yard.  Ouch!  It still hurts to think about it!
