Beautifying Inside & Out

Productivity last weekend!!!!

My friend Pat came with a truck and a chain saw to help us break down the tree debris (and so he could take the wood for his fire pit).


Brendan after loading the truck for the first time.


Pat making sure load 3 "wood" be a full one!


The truck filled with load two, load three mid yard, and hauling away the future mulch on a drop cloth (non-wood tree debris and weeds).


Fake blinds to hide our stuffed porch.


Peekaboo!


My new lamp.


The lamp in high detail.


Up next (hopefully) painting the bathroom!

What's New?

First...MY KITTY relaxing in the living room:



OK... enough kitties...Updates:

getting rid of the wholes in the door by hammering in ill fitting white pegs...



peeling off the tape...this is what blue tape did...


peeling off the tape...this is what the green tape did...


LESSON: GO GREEN!


bought this chair...(along with a coffee and side table)...


my living room is now cozy...



and so we had a PARTY! (well invited over 2 friends)...



This is my porch. Apparently there are people in town complaining about the appearance of my porch hurting their property values. So instead of spending my money on a sink in my bathroom, or insulating pipes in my basement, or getting a basement door, or windows that close, or screens without holes, or cabinets in my kitchen, or up to code plumbing with scald guards, or fix the grout in my shower, or blinds for the rest of my house other than bedroom, or shelves in my pantry,... I could go on...

THEY believe TOP of that list is trimming the hedges to proper shape, putting in a walkway to a front door I don't use, and emptying a porch I use as convenient storage and instead storing tools, tiles, and stuff I plan to sell in a basement or attic or garage where it's not as climate controlled or easily accessible, SO THAT when they drive by... the look of my front porch is more appealing to them.




SO I will be figuring out how to get a happy medium accomplished AND FAST.
