And now, in the autumn of 2007…
We swapped radiators. This one, which is a more suitable size for the room, was one of two in the dining room. The small one that used to be in the living room was the exact same size as the second one in the dining room. This falls under the category of: what were they thinking?
The curtains are down in these pictures. I can assure you the red thermal drapes are long gone. I did have golden sheers up- they matched the color of the wall, but they made the whole room just a bit too yellow. So, I’m in the process of choosing something new. Whatever I go with, they are hung inside the windows on tension rods, so that all the wood trim is still exposed.

In September of 2003…
Notice the one tiny radiator for this big room.
Don’t you just love the thermal drapes- too short on the big tripple window, way too long on the itty-bitty square windows. Classy.
And the disproportionately small gas fireplace.
But, overall, not bad, right? At the time, I thought we would just paint, clean, and I would move in. Boy, was I wrong.
