  47. Hi Joan and Dan,

    I am touching base with you both after so so long. I hope you are both well.

    I have to say that when you showed us the second photo above I gasped out loud. With interior magazines and now the internet you can be drenched with interior images, that now I find it takes something that bit extra to move me. Well it's happened this morning!!! I haven't read the comments above but I know we are all on the same page when I say WOW STUNNING, SIMPLY STUNNING. Please promise you won't leave us hanging for too long.

    I have missed your posts Joan!

    Take care

  52. Joan, thanks so much for the sneak peak! Can't wait to see the rest. Your mantel is exactly what I have in mind for our family room remodel.

    What wood and stain did you use in the new barn room? It's just beautiful and matches the rest of the house perfectly . . .

    Thanks!
