Flooring next!

I spent a large portion of today, power washing the floor. I was going to use some old barnwood, but I'm going to visit a flooring shop in the next couple days and check out my choices. The barnwood might be complicated to install as I would have to raise it with a framework to keep it off the cement. And, barnwood would have to be treated for insects. There has to be some other neat options...bamboo, cork, etc.???

Wrapped in a blanket!

My gallery is now wrapped in a blanket....of insulation!  I had a company come and drill holes around the outside walls of the building, and then fill them with insulation.  They also put rolls of insulation into the ceiling, and along the back room wall.  I have really beautiful fabric that I'm going to drape along the ceiling, so that will help make it look better.  I just have to figure out what kind of heat system to get, and my gallery won't be so freezing cold during the winter months.  Yay!!!
