Day 50: Trimming

Into the sun room:


Windows trimmed and room continuing to take finished shape. Can't wait for the tile!!!!!


*a note... I am nervous about the paint color. Baby bluer than I orig thought, and YES while it is changeable... now that it is painted, it's moved down the list of priorities... like - throughout this process I have been given a lot of ideas as far as "well it would only be a couple hundred bucks more for..." and they are great ideas. BUT, thing is... we are doing work to the kitchen, dining room, office, guestroom, master, sun room, living room, minor bathroom stuff, attic, halls/stairs, closets, outside (siding, three doorways, outside lighting), and eventually yard. There are probably 50 to 100 EASILY thought of things I could do slightly nicer, better, etc for 200-1000$ a piece. But the issue is, can't do them all. Have to pick and choose.
Also, at the end of this, we will be continuing to look for deals on new appliances, a new couch, new arm chair, guest bedroom furnishings, etc. Soooooooooo...it's not my fav color but FINGERS CROSSED it comes together because we certainly have someplace more important to put the $ to redo it.

Mess - one day this will be a dining room not a storage room... excited... they plan to paint it soon! We are going with the old kitchen color. Its like a bisque tan color. The yellow was bright and fun for a while but a little extreme considering most of the rooms have a more historic classic look:


And THANK YOU to MICHAELINE and MOM for providing our touch of Christmas this year! Was a sad year without a tree but I come home to this wreath every day and smile.

First Halloween

I last minute went shopping at Michael's. Originally I thought I would do it next year, but then I thought- this might be the last year I have a sibling as a trick or treater! Also, got to get the ball rolling right that I am not the creepy hoarder, I am a pleasant and fantastically creative young lady who'd like to give your children candy. Not creepy.



I got webbing for my bushes, as well as reflective eyes to hide in them. I also had a tin star hanging on my door with a pumpkin painted on it.



I put in a couple of friendly scarecrows to greet the children. The pumpkins behind them were from Pumpkin picking in Montville. Along the windows were stickers of bloody handprints.



Bought a fog machine at Target. Place it under the front of the car to fog the kiddies way (still I am not creepy)! Also, an additional pumpkin on the step.



Lastly we have a Autumn Greeting.



And TA-DA... Wouldn't you like a piece of that? And may be some candy as well.



Satisfied Customers:



HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
