The Pipe Man

Many years ago in the days of wallpaper on all the walls, busylizzy and I papered this entire house from top to bottom. It had been newly renovated and was quite a sight to behold. The design and layout of this home as well as the decor is very classy and professional. What you cannot see is the swimming pool, the golf greens, and the automotive hobby shop where vintage cars are restored. We got to know these people very well and a few years ago I was called to come and modernize the decor, throughout the entire house. The quality wallpaper was in amazingly good condition and it was not only a huge job removing it all, but it hurt to tear down our good workmanship. We spent many weeks here but the end result was a totally modernized home and very happy client. We were treated royally with regular coffee breaks and good visits. The man of the house was recovering from some very serious throat cancer and we noticed a distinct change in his personality, for the better, since the first time we worked for him. Many homes we have worked in over the years bring fond memories but this one is in the top ten.  









This photo belongs to the post of a few days ago. It is the front view of the home with the ice arena in the back yard.
