Update.










So, I haven't spoken much, if at all, about the house and whatever updates that have been occurring. This post will be no different. I'm just playing. There's actually been a lot going on, and I've just been too busy to take the time to share it all. Basically, we've done about 80% of the first floor, as far as restorations go. This includes redoing the hardwood floors, restoring radiators, painting (loads of painting), and doing a ton of demolition.

We're currently working on the master bedroom, and as far as that goes, we've taken down the initial walls and ceiling, put up brand new walls, as well as insulating (which was nonexistent). Once the master is complete, we're gonna finish the kitchen, which is currently gutted.

On a brighter note, we've purchased a brand new refrigerator, as well as two couches. I'm not one to brag, but I will say I'm extremely happy that all three were paid in full. That brings me to the main reason for this post. Now if you aren't aware of what you're looking at, it's the couch of all couches, period. Inspired by the classic Chesterfield style, we purchased ourselves a leather kensington from Restoration Hardware. I keep joking around and saying this is the type of couch you'd sit on and smoke a pipe, wearing a velvet robe (on some hugh hef type stuff). It's the type of couch you sit and drink scotch on the rocks, poured from a decanter, while playing chess and discussing politics, as well as the world. Get cultured.

Disregard the dirty floors; like I said before, we've been busy restoring this house.

Hell that's the type of couch my people wouldn't even let you sit on. That couch would just be for show.

Y'all place about to look elegant as all types of hell when you're finished.

I couldn't restore a whole house. It'll all be worth it in the end though.
