Gamble-Stanek Family Room; Day 71 – “Installing the Stall Wall”

The work site is particularly welcoming today as a cozy fire takes the edge off a chilly autumn morning. The floor is completely installed, and now covered for protection while the painter gets to work.

In the kitchen, we get a glimpse of the farmhouse pine floors. Early next week, the flooring will be sanded and finished with a clear coat.

Back in the family room, vertical wood paneling is installed on the “stall wall”. Mike is currently working on a frame to house the wrought iron spindles which will complete the effect, meant to evoke the horse stalls that originally occupied the space.
