corner view ≈ monument(al)

there's a monument up-{our tiny}-town, that i was solo debating about to show off. the weather though has been downright dreary, so i can only offer rain cheques right now, to take y'all on one of my favourite walks around town and gown {☻ not really} this summer. there's a dfferent kind of masterpiece inside our house, that in its downrightness has claimed to play starring role, causing a majestic feeling, looking at it, stroking it, touching it even.

last sunday morning started quiet and under a clear sky. i got working really early to way into teatime. details will follow in a later post, but i would like to let you in, dear reader, on our own little, big monument. we've indeed been rolling over it, today. after one and a half year of closure, we are almost opening up our downstairs level.

our grey oak laminate is our local hero, our monument-to-be-laid (that does sound rude! ☻) in the next two weeks.

admiring, stroking, touching.

historic!

  6. Ha, what a monument! I see you in front of my inner eyes, caressing your new floor, dancing on it, lying on it, walking around in a circle, sittig there with a glass of wine and smelling the oak! Enjoy! ;o)

  9. We have decided to build versus renovate an older house. My brain hurts a little bit at the thought of so much choosing that will have to be done! But the end result will be worth it as it seems all this renovating will be for you. Lovely floor choice. I smiled at "that does sound rude!" I bet you're a lot of fun to be around. :>)
    We're supposed to have rain most of the day today. I have the words written on my joints. :>(

  10. A good lay (of your flooring) should make everything look brighter.
