  • New Table and Chairs

    I found this table and chair set on Craigslist last night: It is the tulip table I said I had been wanting when I found that other table a couple months ago. I found it just an hour or so after it had been listed. The …

  • Pics

    Just some pics to share...trying to focus on the positive and not on my crookedy carpet, or my off center pedestal sink. Here's a reminder of the area just inside my office door before repair started a few weeks ago: An…

  • Progress Report

    The plumber never showed up...rescheduled for early tomorrow morning. The carpet guys came, installed and left while I was painting doors and baseboard out in the covered patio. These paintables came out of the carpete…

  • A Vast Improvement

    I do love it when a plan comes together! I have been visualizing a solution to an awkward ladder up to my attic spaces for a long, long time. Here was my problem: The ladder to my attic TV room and attic storage beyo…

  • My Birthday Present

    I gave myself an extra day off this week as a birthday present. It was a nice day off, but not spectacular. I ran around town a lot, but didn't really get a lot done. I'm trying to narrow down my faucet choices. I ne…
