Easter's been here and gone, and it was a wonderful holiday. We had Good Friday off so Andy took me to a very rare dinner. We only have time and money to go out a couple times a year. He spent a good bit of the weekend with Lucy's hockey, then on Sunday we and... Continue Reading →
This weekend I had to wrap up the library to a point, in order to make room for the sofa delivery today. I was able to put enough paint on the general vicinity of the walls in the evenings last week that one final coat and some touch ups Saturday in broad daylight was good.... Continue Reading →
With the holidays, I am falling a bit behind on the writing, as well as the remodel work. I traveled to Boston over Christmas as part of a trip with Andy, Lucy, and Grace for a hockey tournament. We piled into one vehicle and stayed in a hotel room with two small beds. Every couple... Continue Reading →
I'm starting to strip the wallpaper in the "twin" room to the living room - the library. And since everything I do in this room is similar to the last, I won't bore you with the details.

Over the weekend I scrubbed the house and put up the tree (to the left, to the left, doesn't it look great!?).

Thanksgiving is almost here, and I am glad this is a quick room! I have used orange oil on all of the wood so it is rich and smells wonderful. As I had stripped the wallpaper, I watched the years roll in reverse. Friday night I visited my mom and helped her with a couple... Continue Reading →
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 →
Here we are, already mid November. I had hoped to finish this room before the end of October. I had to be careful with the carpet, as it required one seam and there is a pattern. I made sure I measured twice and had a sharp blade on my cutting knife. If you plan to... 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 →
