We’ve began the Under Hill’s ensuite tile in earnest today. The tile pattern is reminiscent of the suite’s quilts we started last week. I’m looking forward to seeing everything come together!
My mother and I have been sneaking a little time on the weekends to start the drapery for the Under Hill Suite. Many of the curtains and other fabrics will be quilted (as befits a cozy underground home).
I have fond memories of my mother and grandmother sewing together — quilting racks filling the living room. And, when I was old enough, I joined them (pricking my fingers on the tiny needles 😂). But it has been many years since my mother and I quilted together — returning to it now feels like stealing a piece of my childhood and bringing it into the present.
Yesterday, in between a few other jobs, I managed to get a little tile on the wall in the Under Hill’s ensuite. I’m very pleased with the variation in the cool mossy green tiles. Next week, I should make some real progress on the tile as our painters begin glazing the suite’s ceilings.
We continue to make good progress, painting inside the Under Hill Suite. By the end of the month we will be ready to bring in our electricians to start installing the suite’s fixtures — including a number of Tiffany Glass chandeliers. I can hardly wait!
This week we start the tile work in the Under Hill’s ensuite — we chosen some beautiful tile and I can hardly wait to see it up!
We are having a merry old time, painting the Under Hill’s ensuite. June will be here before you know it!
