I seem to be slowing down on this room. I still need to paint the ceiling, but Andy and I had a twice-a-year weekend without the girls and we wanted to make the most of it. A snow storm kind of sealed the deal that once I got to his place, I wasn't going anywhere.... Continue Reading →
Before I give you the big reveal in the library, I wanted to include a link back to the living room blog. There are some updated pictures with some finishing touches. The cream chair in the corner by the fireplace came back from the upholsterers last week. It is an old, ugly quality-made chair that... Continue Reading →
We're still in the library.

November was the month to start my dining room. I am a little late on the draw. This should be an easy room and after I am done with this, I will probably take a break to clean and decorate for the holidays. Probably. We’ll see. Friday I removed the carpet and padding from the... Continue Reading →
So here I am, taking longer on this room than I expected. Finally, I was ready for the carpet and padding! The carpet and padding have been laying in my dining room for a couple weeks. I had laid carpet only once in my life, and that very poorly. I had no stretcher or experience.... Continue Reading →
