Joe and Kari: Loft Work

Homebody info

Well we've been open for a while now & already had our first Art Show. It was a great success & I can't wait to have more! We've got more cleaning up in the back half of the bottom floor that we should be finished with soon & then we can start on the top floor, again. Our goal is to remodel the small bathroom that is already upstairs, so that we can go ahead and move in! So in about 6 months, we should be living Downtown!!

Bless your hearts, you are really making such progress. I love the metal up above even tho it looks pea green on my computer. I know you are going to have a beautiful place to live in the future.

However, you have your home looking great right now. You both have worked so hard on it.

I am bursting with pride in you both.

Move, Mema

That must be one of those magical buildings every time I visit your blog it gets larger and larger.

LOL...feels like it gets bigger and bigger too :)
I finally used my brain and sat the camera on a box so I could leave the shudder open long enough to get more light, so that you could see all the way to the other wall.
Hopefully we will get some stuff done to the front of the building this weekend so I can show more of how its going to look!! We are determined to get A LOT done Saturday and Sunday!

Well one good thing... the bricks & metal decorative border have been covered up & protected from the elements all these years so hopefully they will be in great condition...

With embellishments like that on your building how old is it?? And are they cast iron?

As you know I love old things.
I even have bits of a masonry from an eleventh century chapel that I rescued from the beach, in the garden and a piece of medieval green-glaze pottery that King Robert the Bruse could have drunk out off. I dream!!

The building was built around 1906 I think. It was one of the few buildings that survived the Paris Fire of 1916, that destoryed much of Paris. We actually just learned the other day that the building that is next to use (currently the DollarSave) was built as a temp. hotel for the workers that came to Paris to help during the rebuild process.
