In the biggest reading room Kim picked out this plain gray sofa an a couple of side chairs to match that had a checked design then a couple of end tables and lamps. Kime picked out a warm honey pine desk for his office with a couple of gray side chairs. Then she visited the carpet store again and picked out a deep tweed gray carpet .Mr. Astor liked the side chairs that Kim had picked out for the reading room but insisted that they go into the office leaving Kim with too much gray in the reading room.
She went to the department and found two throws that would add to the gray furniture and also would off set the too much plain gray color in the reading room.
A problem solved very easy. Her crew got the office and reading room painted and the rugs in both rooms was delivered and installed the day that most of the furniture arrived and placed in the biggest room on the second floor. Kim decided that room would be the last room done and while it was being the furniture could be stored at the end of the hall in a alcove area Mr. Astor informed Kim and the crew that the manor was still kind of a dangerous place with furniture plus their tools laying around that he didn't want anyone there when it got dark.
