You guys are so nice! Many thanks! Joyce, Therese and I will be using the Florida room next year...and we look forward to it. The area is not heated and the days have gotten colder lately. We have laid down on the 2 lounge chairs which we got as a gift from my family and friends. Janice, the flooring is made of ceramic tiles which I have laid with my son Marc. Jill, I'm doing just fine. I have adjusted to my new lifestyle. Inasmuch as I do not like to inject myself each day with Lovenox, nevertheless I got used to it...and this is part of my daily routine now. I dont feel sick, I eat well, somethimes my bones ache but nothing serious that I cannot endure. I keep busy, and take life one day at a time...Who knows?...I may live many years yet! Mary, you remember well. I have transplanted my best looking hostas on one side of the concrete steps, so Therese and I will have a perfect view next summer. Carol, we went to see my brother Mau in Montreal...and when we got there...surprise...all members of our families and friends were there to celebrate our 50th. It was a wonderful gathering! Thanks for your toast.... Papou

Alisande, they are vintage reproductions of bar, liquor prints "CONTRATTO" & "DIONIS GRAN SPUMANTE","CHAMPAGNE JOSEPH PERRIER" & "SAUVION'S BRANDY" (sorry for the caps..taken from the auction I won). The bar is SUPER heavy (took 5 guys to move it into the room and even then they still dropped it), has a marble top and all kinds of drawers and things on the back side of it. It was definitely an impulse buy. I really have to quit looking at furniture now cause our house is full! DH was about to kill me cause every week I'd send him to pick up something I'd bought. :-) He's happy with the finished room though.

Wow that is dark green. And you had the wash out from the bad storm right?

Linda, that's lovely! The addition of the black in the mirror frame, etc. adds so much. Small suggestion: when posting Befores and After pics, start of with something like "This is a Before of the fireplace area:", and then add that photo. Add more info on the next pic before you add it. This just makes it easier to look at things if the viewers are not familiar with the room. And, I don't think that it's possible to add more pics more than a few hours (or even less, I'm not sure) after you've first started a thread.
