discolored areas or to strip them and reglue with non-browning adhesive. Other problems revolve around replacement of missing pieces — many of them gathered in a box — and the potential decomposition of the cardboard appliqués. Intending to maintain the integrity of the space, the artists hope to work with Furey, seeking his advice and possible participation in the restoration. Furey, who is recovering from pneumonia, said he would be delighted to meet Thompson and Westerman and help them, but cautioned that his active involvement would have to be arranged on a business basis. While the couple does not plan structural changes in the space, they do hope to personalize it for their needs. Westerman is a "kitchen" person and wants to adapt the living room, the apartment's hub, for modest food preparation by installing a few discreet appliances. The Furey kitchen, in the rear of the apartment, will be transformed into a nursery with oven hood and cabinets kept intact. The two bright front rooms — a sitting room and bedroom for the Fureys — will become studio space for the two artists. They plan to keep the floor treatment simple, with a possible border design. At first, the couple thought they would sand, stain, and varnish the existing pine floors, but they worry that the dust from scraping would forever embed itself into the applied materials. Thompson and Westerman are considering laying linoleum on the floor as an alternative. Westerman explains that with the intricate wall, ceiling, molding, and door designs, the eye needs a place with "little visual stimulation" to enhance and not conflict with the total effect.
