In anticipation of an awesome Saturday filled with heavy sheets of drywall and deep pockets filled with cash ... er, drywall screws .. I called the local rental store and reserved a drywall lift. It will take a little over 6 sheets of drywall to cover the ceiling. I'm going to be happy when it's all done because then I...First Project

I've been away from blogging for quite some time to pursue my art interests, but now that I've found my little niche in the art world, I would like to give blogging another shot. I'm not one of those 'new blog post every day at 2pm types' .. weekly updates are more realistic. Nevertheless, I thought I'd post a pic of the...Fireplace progress

I wish I had some good things to report about the progress I'm making with the fireplace, but, alas, I don't at the moment. I should post a few pics here soon about the progress we are making with the gardens. We transplanted a few perennials and purchased some others to get a good garden layout going. We have a small...First Project

We are busy settling in and unpacking, a process that takes days and weeks. I've been sidelined by finding a used washer and dryer and hooking them up. Laundry is kind of important. But on a more interesting and historical note, I decided I just had to know what was behind the shiny gold fireplace doors and...

We've officially closed on our new home which is a beautiful English Tudor style home. I thought I'd post a few pics from the real estate listing. I'll have my own photos soon enough (once I figure out which box the camera is in lol). But for now, we are settling in, getting used to life here. The home has a foyer entry...Moving Again...

Whistle while you work

My kitchen sink faucet whistles when I use it. I figure it's just telling me how happy it is to be directing water for me. But I find it a little annoying. The sound closely resembles a shrieking teapot when the water is boiling. So I rush to the stove again and again only to discover that I don't own a teapot. OK, I...Painted Windows

eHow has a nice article on their website titled Projects and Ideas for Painting Old Windows that is full of fun ideas for using old windows in creative ways. I like the painted flower box idea they have. I happen to have quite a few old windows laying around that I've been trying to come up with a use for. I have a nice...Moving Day(s)

After two totally taxing days we are officially moved in! The sun was shining on a nice 64 degree morning as we awoke and wandered through a maze of boxes. I'd post some pics of our new house but my camera is safely stashed in a box just waiting to be discovered. Lots to do, lots of ideas, lots of fast food too! Can't...
