removing clutter





well, many...many...many months ago (actually after we removed the high gloss, burnt orange lacquered plywood from the ceiling) we decided to leave the original exposed beams and boards and not replace the ceiling. hoping to gain a few more inches as well as give the place more of a primitive vibe.

phase two took place this weekend..removing all the excess cross beams, which were used not as a support system, but rather to nail up the previous plywood ceiling. boy oh boy, the difference this makes is beyond the photo's (taken by ldrc). wish you could have been there.

i feel like i can breath again..the clutter these extra beams created was crazy and i do not know why we waited so long to remove them.

next phase...paint...:)
