ENCORE!

I've had a request for more photos, so these are all taken in Jenna's home. Gene is preparing the floor for some repair work. The spiral staircase was moved and left 2 holes in the hardwood floor. He loves a project... Then, this is the guest room. The tiny side table is up against a wall, on the right, and you can see the orange wall on the left. That's how big the room is. Jenna does plan to repaint... Below is the view from Jenna's bedroom windows on the second floor. Big, floor to ceiling windows, all along the wall. Lovely. And then finally, this is the downstairs. I'm standing where the dining room table should be (it was waiting to be picked up and since Jennna doesn't have a car, she was waiting for a friend with a truck to help), the windows to the sidewalk/street/canal are at my back and I'm looking through the length of her home. Dining area, TV area, kitchen and bath at the far right. Not a lot of space, but that's how they live. We didn't see any big houses. The Dutch also leave their draperies open all day and into the evening. They are saying "my house is clean and we have nothing to hide". You better hope so! Well, now that I've given you a glimpse of a Dutch home, I'm going to bed. We're expecting severe weather tonight, which means no sleep for me...crazy dogs lose their minds and keep me up. Of course, Gene sleeps through it all... Later, I'll post some more. Take care and have a good weekend. Hugs and kisses to all.
Love, Joan
