Cupola Windows!

I had windows installed in the cupola recently! I am going to put a very bright light in there, so that my carriage house will glow every night. I also had the old, rotting spire taken down, and my copper, rooster weathervane (that once belonged to my stepdad!) put on top. I'm just glad that I didn't have to be the one to climb up on that ladder!!!

Entry Doors!

Here are the entry doors for the gallery! The final installation was today, and I painted the primer (pale yellow) on the surrounding wood this afternoon. After it dries, I will paint over the primer with the same bright yellow that is on the rest of the carriage house. This is a huge project ticked off my to-do list!!!

Doors going in!

I recently went to the Heritage Company downtown, and found a pair of french doors to use as the entrance to the gallery. The owner of Heritage told me that he is pretty sure that those doors were from a house on Gull Lake, so they are coming back to Richland! I am so excited that I found them after searching through dozens of old antique doors, because they are perfect for the space. The cool thing is that I am having the doors installed, so that the original carriage house sliding door will still close in front of them when my shop is closed. That way I won't lose the character of the building, but will give a better entry for customers.
