Back in Milwaukee, and things are looking good!

 The trip was mostly uneventful, which is the way we like it.

We are getting into a routine with this trip - first stop in North Little Rock, Second stop in St Louis, then Milwaukee. It is mot a bad drive.

We've discovered that the halfway point is the Black River Overlook Park in Pocahontas, AR. We stop and get food somewhere in town (Green's BBQ if they are open, but they are not open on weekends. So we try something else. I think we had Taco Bell (really!) this time)

Lulu is ready to be in Milwaukee:

We are well on our way to completion. You can see some of the progress here.

This is the original primary shower. The fur down there made it very difficult for me to stand up and take a shower. The shower head hit me in the chest.

This is the same shot. We took out the tub and the fur down, replace the tile, and raised the shower head. So now I can wash the top of my head.

The tile looks nice.

You can see the new bedroom color (actual, not AI!) below;

Here is  the original:

I like it!

More later, but I have to scoot to meet family for an early dinner.

And we're on our way (tomorrow)

 We do where we're going:

We're taking our time.

First night in North Little Rock (quickly becoming a favorite destination)
Second night in St Louis (already a favorite since we stay with friends)
Third night in Milwaukee

As always, in spite of the fact we've done this several times before there is always a little controversy about what we will be taking with us.

Looking forward to getting back to Milwaukee, but we will miss dearly our Houston friends.

Kitchen Sconces

 We have the original Wright sconces that were in the kitchen.

They look like this:

But we want to put some glass shades on them that mimic the glass in the rest of the house. 

So we are looking at something like this:

Now, the Meyer May house used the similar sconces, but they just put in large frosted bulbs:

(Look at the tile detail, and then look at the tile images from the previous post)

You might recall that the kitchen was redesigned in the 1960s, and the lights lloked like this:

but we want it to look like this:

More or less...

We are getting close.
