happy new year

I can't say we did too much this week. It's been a crazy weather week, rain, snow, sun, some more rain. Most of what we need to do now is outside, and it's just too cold and wet right now.

I did get the porch columns painted with a first coat. Don't look too close, they really need another go-round, but you get the idea.....

We have a few things still planned. I really wanted to do my craft closet today, but DH had to work. I guess it's OK, because we have one more furniture thing to do. We really need some end tables and a coffee table, and I fell in love with this set from bassett.  They're right up our alley in that they're in the mission style, and I think they'll fit right in. They're a new product at bassett, and they don't have them in stock yet. Our (very) hungry bassett sales gal has agreed to call me when they arrive and we'll probably be looking at them next weekend.


I REALLY want to bring my fountain over and get it set up. The problem is that it weighs about 600 lbs (really). and that's just the bottom of it. I think this cool dragonfly that my sister made me for christmas will look really great with it though. She's quite an artist.

 

The doggies are ready for the weather to get better too. They love to garden!

 

 

 

Hopefully, we'll win tickets to the flower show with that pic.

 

And,  last but not least.......the end of an era. We bought this house in 1989ish. When we bought it, it had ugly brown shag carpeting, orange indoor-outdoor in the dining room, ancient baseboard heaters ,and lovely, colorful, kid car wallpaper in the spare bedroom. Well, many years, and a lot of work later, it goes on the market monday morning. Let's hope for a reasonably quick and painless sale.
