Day 57 (6 days left)

What a journey this has been!! And what a week... we're getting pretty worn out (Mike has lost is mind I'm pretty certain although it does make for some hilarious moments). However, we are getting more excited with every moment that a final touch or detail comes together and it looks that much more finished! All that's left is two rooms of baseboards to paint and most of the window trim to paint. Should be done tomorrow and ready to start thinking about hanging artwork.

The artwork from both our guest artists is now here and Lina comes on Monday to set up the boutique with her wonderful Fair Trade products by Hearts and Crafts. We are very excited to see what she has for us!!

This is a quick post because dinner is almost ready and we've been at it since 7am as usual. So enjoy the pictures of the progress and keep an eye out for pictures of the finished gallery soon!!!

Goodnight all!

We're in the home stretch!!!

TWO WEEKS LEFT!!!


 What a busy week it's been... but things are really starting to come together!


The third coat of stain on the floor is currently drying. It's amazing how long it takes for this stuff to dry. By the time we get the varnish on it's definitely going to be longer than we anticipated for the floor. However, it has been GLORIOUS weather up here in Tobermory for the last few days so we've been busy outside on the exterior of the property and working on the garden.












Remember this sign??? It was a memorable day when the sign on the front of the gallery and the road sign came down but now it's all back up again...

(Look at that snow... thank goodness spring is finally here.)











And voila! The new signage for the front of the gallery!!!



And remember this moment...?



And our new road sign!

We have spent so many months thinking about this process and now that it's underway and nearly complete we are counting the days till we open the doors. WetRock Studios will be open Saturday, May 18th for the May long weekend (Sat, Sun, Mon). If you're in town stop by and check it out!

Next week will involve a lot of painting and finishing touches but we're in the home stretch now!!!

Everyone enjoy the sunshine!!!!
