New furniture & carpet purchased

This is the furniture Craig bought for you at Rooms To Go.  It’s scheduled to be delivered sometime on Saturday, May 3rd.  He’ll be there to meet the truck and have it ready for you upon your arrival. The throw pillows shown on the love seat will not be included, and the darker shaded copper pillows will be substituted for them.

One side chair purchased. Another can be purchased later, if desired.

This is Mom's super-comfy, yet easy-to-get-out-of chair, for her bedroom!
If Dad likes it too, another can be purchased later.

CARPET (kitchen, breakfast room, and master bathroom):

Sorry, no picture available.  We finally decided on a plain, medium-deep (in color) honey-colored short-cut pile that should go well with the white-ish carpet already in existence. INSTALLATION to begin between 9 and 11 a.m. on May 1.  We may have to wait an extra couple of days for the delivery and installation of the matching (special-order) molding.

Carpets

These are some very poor pictures of some of the carpets that we saw, that are NOT among the samples that we were able to bring to Mom & Dad ... just to show what else is available.  These pictures mostly include images of carpets and even large area rugs that might be appropriate for the entrance hall, as plain carpets (such as might be more appropriate for kitchen and breakfast room) do not photograph well.  Colors are NOT necessarily accurate.

2nd Revision of Floor Plan

After several conversations, Dad decided not to go ahead with installing the half-bath in the Laundry Room at this time ... "it can be done later if it becomes necessary."  However, we are still showing the addition of a door for the guest suite, as it is a relatively inexpensive improvement which will be nice for whoever stays in one or both of the guest rooms in the meantime.

NOTE:  Of course ALL of this is to be approved by Dad.

Don suggested more exercise bars at the front of the house, which I have added to the floor plans.  He also suggested angled grab bars at each place where this is a step ... front door, garage door, back door ... all good ideas.

Additional improvements could include replacing all doorknobs with levers.

Other comments:

We may remove the padding from underneath the existing carpeting, to make tripping less likely for Mom.  Indoor/Outdoor, or other thin-but-sturdy carpeting will be added to the kitchen, breakfast room, entry, and Master Bathroom.

The toilet in the Master Bathroom needs to be replaced with a taller version.  The tub needs to be replaced with a handicap-compliant shower and fixtures.

Here's the latest version (with the deck still not necessarily to scale).

Back Door ... would need to add deck, but there is plenty of room for it.

Back of house ... definitely needs a big covered deck!

Showing back yard .. it slopes steeply downward.
