It is the little things, like Folksy Lady says, that add up. Handyman might not feel much is accomplished, but he has made so much progress on this place in the past few years that it really is amazing. And so much nicer for us all.
We stopped at Lowes after our Labor Day hike and then went to PeiWei for some Chinese deliciousness. At Lowes more paint was purchased for my son to finish repainting his room. His sister is helping him, and so we are passing on the D-I-Yourself genes.
I picked up a few samples of wallpaper… since it looks like I will get my new grasscloth look in the “den” this fall. We are going to reshuffle some of the rooms, the way we live now doesn’t fit the way we use our living space… so it is time to think “out of the box”. I fell in love with South Carolina beach houses…any beach houses, actually… and it influences the look I want to live with- which explains my desire to put a grasscloth texture on the walls.
Fall is always a very busy time. We have to finish up projects, and clean the wood floors and get things put away for the winter duration. We are on target this year, since my Handyman had the foresight to order the firewood early, and has kept pace with the maintenance jobs.
I, on the other hand, have lagged. My organization is nil… I take two steps forward and five back, it seems. I keep trying…in my mind. I still haven’t gotten th epictures up -either here or over @ Ilona’s Garden Journal. I have them and eventually they should get posted and published. Eventually.
