Yesterday ended with the first of what I'm sure will be many problems: the flooring we had chosen, the flooring I had dreamed about, the flooring I had designed the ENTIRE space around, is no longer available. How do they not know these things? I had been into the store several times over the past few months to gaze at the sample. I had borrowed it multiple times. I don't think it's entirely the store's fault. The manufacturer should be more honest with its clients and let them know when there are product shortages. Short of the long, we spent more than 2 crazy hours running around town and we found something else. It's significantly cheaper and may end up being significantly easier to live with in the long run, but it lacks the magic of the original.
Salem discovered a whole new world once K&P left yesterday and he could come out of hiding. There are holes in the floor now, cat-sized holes, perfect for exploring. At one point last night, we lost him, and when we called for him, his little head popped out of the hole like a gopher.
It's amazing how the feel of a space can change. The room felt shorter as soon as the curtains came down. Now it feels taller without the bulkheads. It also feels smaller the emptier it gets, but it won't be staying empty for long...
