So I took a bit of a weekend break from Andy to finish this project so I can move outside for the summer. I touched up the edges where the walls meet the ceilings, with white ceiling paint. I scrubbed and scraped the beautiful wood steps. I couldn't bring myself to re-glue the stair post... Continue Reading →
This weekend I had a decent chunk of time but it was too nice to spend most of it indoors. I had a nice lunch with a college friend Brit, and as we were eating Lebanese food at a new eatery, it wasn't long before we each took out our phones to show each other... Continue Reading →
I'm still moving slowly, and working in the darkest, smallest area of the house was not fun on such a gorgeous weekend! Because this is a small area and I wanted to marry the upstairs and downstairs with the colors, I am using the downstairs trim color (lightest creamy white) and a mix that I... Continue Reading →
The stairwell seems like a small area at first blush. I am in my final quarter of my MBA and the holidays are almost here, plus I will be having houseguests. Soon I will be heading outside to mow and assess the landscape. I figured this would be a fairly quick area to do. The... Continue Reading →
I am on budget, just about $60 for the paint, a new roller handle and disposable paint tray. I shifted some furniture to capture the boarding house feel and provide a dresser for overnight guests. The antique stool looks a bit beat up but blends perfectly with the theme of the room. I would like... Continue Reading →
I had an upper respiratory infection over the weekend so, on doctor's orders, stayed at home. Andy says the doc probably also mentioned the word "rest" in there, but I didn't hear it. I took the opportunity to be "lazy" and watch an on-demand movie and sit with a cup of tea each morning. I skipped... Continue Reading →
This past weekend I finished the painting and removed the tape. Andy was at a quick hockey tournament with Lucy and then Grace had her Confirmation yesterday. It was a good weekend to work. I taped off the trim and did it first, then let it dry thoroughly and then taped to paint the walls.... Continue Reading →
With winter here, my time to work on the house is throttling down. I shovel and clean the litter box far more (see blog) since my cats are only inside in the winter. My mom has had some surgeries and I’ve spent some nights with her. Because there is so much clutter in this room... Continue Reading →
I want to bring this plain room up to a contemporary standard. When my sister and I were little, it was big enough to fit our twin beds and a partition separating sleeping quarters to a play area. Today I stand in the middle of it and think how small it is. It saw us... 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 →
