Closing In On The Finish Line

I took these photos a few days ago so even now they are outdated. The two contractors/renovators have done a spectacular job to transform a neglected very outdated space of 3 rooms into a light and bright yarn shop. There is some minimal interior work to be completed. We need signs for the building and parking lot and some cleaning is required to remove remnants of sawdust and dirty boot prints.

Boxes of yarn arrive almost daily. I think the last ones -- except for the backorder -- arrived today. Needles and hooks are here. Project bags are here with some others to arrive in a few weeks. Hand-dyed yarn is being dyed into beautiful colors and will arrive in a few weeks. Fixtures need to be ordered but the delivery is overnight. I have arranged, rearranged and rearranged several more times in my mind's eye. I think I have the design now. Time will tell.

Here are the latest photos:

This is the main room  customers will enter from either the parking lot entrance or through Forefathers Book Shop at the front of the building. Most of the yarn will be in this room.

The built in cupboard (teal door just leaning there for now) will be a great display place and storage spot. The wainscoating is gorgeous since it was resealed. Love my lavender walls! Country cottage look.

And lookie what else! A small fireplace on the lovely hearth that was built to raise it a bit. I can just see all of us sitting there and knitting, crocheting, etc. now. I just can't wait!

This room was a DISASTER but look at it now. It is a small space but will serve several important purposes to customers, myself and those who work in the shop.

Watch for more soon....
