Here's a look at Martin's newly refurbished den. Kathryn was the inspiration and help for getting this done. So, at last, all the old carpet has been removed from the bedroom, dining room, living room, and den. Each room has been painted. I really like the way the woodwork looks. We almost went with all white for the rooms, based on the notion that white makes small spaces appear larger. But in the end, we went for the deeper tones of colour that appealed to us, and can't say that it shrunk our sense of space one iota.
