Mystery Hill Random Updates

Great room beadboard ceilings are in progress.

Bathroom from hell. I have been given much grief by design types because our powder room is a full bathroom. (Shame shame) So we're trying to figure out how to make a full bathroom look more like a powder room. Unfortunately all solutions thus far involve tons of cash!


These doors are black, not brown. Interior shot of new entry doors. Since they're not fully installed, the exterior is still covered up with wood to keep the house secure.

Mystery Hill Visitors

Today we had the pleasure of a visit from Cousin Vicki (musician, artist, pyscho-therapist-to-be, and extraordinary fairy god mother of the girl called Chloe)...

Janet and Chloe were with her of course!
