close only counts ...

with hand granades and horse shoes

My touch up painting was not as complete as I thought.

The light is very poor at 5 am, and I didn't see some stuff that was very visable at 5:30 pm

DH told me I also missed a spot that requires standing on top of my desk, and I did that space this morning.

The transition between the flesh color of the hall paint,[real name is buttered toast] which is still in excellent condition, and the creamy tan is a strange situation...

If I paint down the entire wall, will I like it? Well, sure.

Do I want to paint down the entire wall? Well, no.

So to say I am DONE, I may opt to put in some art in the guise of a distraction... to take the transition away from the spot light.

I did think about using the transition as a real jumping off to another wall treatment... which may still happen... [a giant clock key comes to mind]

5 bins down and counting

Last night I emptied some of my bins of books and loaded the bookcases back up

The idea was to start placing the dis-placed supplies into the now re-useful bins

Unfortunate for me that I am a possesser of many books of different genre.. and they were put helter skelter into boxes and bins so that I could tear out carpeting

The once organized is not

And considering the number of books sent to the Village Book Store I assumed I would have a lot of shelf space for my clocks... not

Well, this early a.m. I did the final touch up painting so I will actually start the clean up of the other half of the room to lay carpet squares.

My Wednesday day off is not

So I will see how far along I will get tonight

Unfornate for me, I have an idea for the entry wall... dammit

The view from my seat at the counter
Will be adding the Metalic effects over the weekend I am sureGLAD that I still have the staircase in my space! It makes it easier! And I did the "self portrait" in ONE SHOT... now I wish I had my good clothes on instead of my baggy work clothes! Heck, I can do it again tomorrow morning before work... lol...

The Unknown Artists of Warrenton MO: Great Give Away

Starting to End

Getting there...







Added some fabric to my wall by the bookcase, I thought blue was a good contrast to the screaming yellow and MANGO MADNESS...

I am going to add similar fabric to the shade I found last year at AGAPE and hang that in the window.

this is a fun blog!
