Home Sweet Home

Love 'em



On those (rare) occasional Saturdays when we have an entire day to ourselves I find myself even more excited to get up and "get busy". Two weeks ago we painted the kitchen and hung the curtains that Jan Hoffman graciously made for me when she and Doug visited in March. Thanks so much Jan!




And just in time for the Salem team to arrive... (like six guys doing a roofing project are going to notice paint or curtains!) Hey guys...did you notice? Probably not, but I'm sure the dessert tasted better coming out of this "updated" kitchen!






Last weekend Bud agreed to work on the ottoman he'd promised to build me for the overstuffed chair we already had. Not only did we come out with a pretty darn good shabby chic ottoman, but I had enough fabric to make a coordinating pillow. This is my favorite "movie-watching" chair, as long as the geckos stay off of it. For some reason they love it as much as I do! As you might guess, they aren't invited guests.

I will be using this comfy spot tonight while we movie watch!
