I was thinking about what to call this post and thought of Loose Ends but somehow
Loose Ends with Lucy came to mind, and that really sounds a bit too flighty, but maybe that is okay I decide. After all life is WAY too short not to smile sometimes, right?
now;
Somehow changing the floor has set me in motion for more change, and I decided to paint the inside of my front door.
It had never been painted since we've lived here...(almost 23 years...)insert gasp here)
primer on...
then the two doors in the entrance way had always bothered me in their staid,brown appearance, so they got done too.
The mirror looks fresher in white; than the black and gold I had put on originally, and finally the welcome sign was also brushed up. Now my entrance way seems ten times brighter and roomier...ah illusions..
If you read this post you'll know I shared my sentimental connection I am prone to.
Somehow, this does NOT apply to painting walls. Every time I decide to paint, and the gruelling preparations have been done and I'm wielding the paint brush I am overcome with euphoria(or fumes) at the wondrous transformation about to take place!
"Careful," I tease my child "don't stand still too long or I may paint you..."
I'm painting my hallway this delicious blue grey/greenish color.I think i'll like it when I'm done...just very tedious with the doors and all...
old colour
new colour
almost done...
my laundry room is being sabotaged at the moment,and I have to say I was appalled at the amount of lint,dust and dirt that suddenly appeared....
but all in all; I am grateful I am married to a guy who willingly takes on these home reno projects for the sake of love and life in the living.
Blueberry oatmeal muffins provide good energy...for the job.( we put cinnamon on top)
