Here’s a place I already miss being. Looking out from the reading room, also known as Chanticleer. From here you get an honest view of how much is left to be done (adding more molding, repairing the blank spots in the wood flooring where a partial wall used to be, removing that huge unruly soffit next to the unfinished staircase…) but you also get a feel for how cozy and complete it will eventually be. And if you ask Paisley, this place is already home.
