I know I have been a bad blogger lately with such infrequent posts. I'm real sorry. I hope to make it up to you a little. I have been working on a bunch of lighting DIY's and tutorials and have decided to dedicate next week to "Lighting Week". Everything thing you need to know about rewiring, remaking and rehabbing lights- so that will kick off Monday. And I plan on tossing a giveaway in there too. Around these parts things have been jam packed crazy as usual. Here is a look at what has been going on in renovation land... Finish Carpentry. New doors. Big ass baseboards. (It will be white from the wood colored piece down) Said "buh-bye" to the 1960's brick. I did love it so much more after I had painted it white, but I have bigger plans. Planking is going up over it. Mantle design is still in the works and undecided. Right now a simple barn beam is winning. Who knows. Crown has begun... Front door 1960's peek-a-boo divider is gone and walls planked... The wall above is the entry wall that has been painted seven ways to Sunday. Remember a year ago? I will be working on number 8 shortly once the dust clears. My house looks nothing like it did a week ago for the Fall House Tour. It's sporting a very a chic carefree and cluttered style right now. I like to refer to it as 'Eclectic Deconstructionism'. Those cushions and lumber are perfectly placed. As for other life fronts, this month I turned 39 (I really can't nor want to believe that- the thirties flew). I ran the Boston Half Marathon again with my friend Tabitha. She kicked butt. I sucked wind-literally-having forgotten my inhaler. But we did it! I have been a color consulting machine these days. And a big commercial job I have been working on for the past year is almost ready for the fun stuff... paint and paper. Can't wait for this... Hope you all have a fun weekend! I think I might get lost in corn maze and drink some cider. See you Monday!
